Hi,Austin...

So sorry you are suffering from panic attacks, they are just horrible, aren't they?

I like to use an ice pack on the back of my neck when i have one, or just stand under a cold shower for a few seconds.

Box breathing can really help too.

i hope you find some relief soon.

I'm new to the group, but just found your post. I cope by walking, doing crosswords, painting watercolors, reading. If the panic/anxiety isn't too bad, those work for me.
Do you have any hobbies? They might help.

I am so sorry to hear what you are going through . I would suggest you go and see a therapist, as getting professional help is always the best way to deal with mental health issues. You can also go online and read mental health blogs ( I mostly read at : https://yourmentalhealthpal.com/ ) which can help you identify the triggers of your panic attacks and how to deal with them. Also practice self-care and don't go hard on yourself, everything will start falling in place soon. Goodluck.
