What are some on the spot remedies to help combat anxiety/panic attacks?
Thanks in advance to all who answer my question!
On the spot?
Deep breathing and positive visualization.

Here are some good ideas:
1. Do something that gets your heart rate up a bit like, walking, running, biking, and swimming.
2. Eat Whole, Organic foods like: Broccoli, Cabbage, Organic Brown Rice, Beans, Spinach, Sweet Potato, Apples, and other fruits and vegetables in their Natural State.
3. Avoid eating corn, sugar, white bread, white rice, white potatoes, candy, sodas, chips, and anything else that you already know you shouldn’t be eating.
4. Drink clean water as your beverage of choice. Avoid Fruit drinks and fruit juices (unless YOU juice them yourself)

Mental Health:
1. Get a friend to talk to each day about your feelings.

4. Join a support group for the issue you’re dealing with.
5. Ask your Higher Self (or God) for guidance.
6. Start keeping a diary or journal about your feelings & thoughts.
7. Write a ‘gratitude’ list every night.
8. Do something that makes you happy each day like: listen to your favorite music, draw, paint, write, or anything creative.
9. Do something for someone else who needs help.
10. If the above suggestions don’t improve your mental health, talk with your therapist about the possibility of taking some medication or check out some natural herbal remedies like St. John’s Wort.

Xanax and prayer.
If you don’t want to take medication and/or you don’t believe in God, trying removing yourself from the situation that has caused you anxiety. If you are with company for example, simply excuse yourself to use the restroom. If there’s a friend or a family member who knows about your panic attacks, you might want to try calling them when you experience one. They can talk you through it or just completely distract you from it.
