What personally works for you when you’re having a panic/anxiety attack?
I have a friend, and he experiences anxiety on a regular basis. Besides medication, how can I help him calm down and/or prevent them from happening? Thanks!
Deep breaths, things that make him laugh, anything for him to feel good or forget about it :/ Good luck

I get attacks sometimes too.I’m not really sure if they are anxiety or panic attacks.
I have a terrible fear of throwing up..I can’t stand throwing up and I will do anything to avoid it..even if it means going to the hospital and getting pricked with IV’s (which I have done before…and I am scared of needles,but I would rather have needles in me than to throw up)..when I get my attacks,it usually starts off with my stomach feeling sick,then I get this ,like,heat I guess I can say..run through my body and I start shaking.What I do is lay down on my back and close my eyes and try not to think of anything..or I will have some one talk to me while I’m laying down about taking pictures (which is something I love to do) or something else to get my mind off of it.Usually this makes it go away in a half hour or less.

Breathing exercises, meditation, mindfullness skills……. however, all of these things he should practice when he is NOT having a panic attack so it will be easier to do them while panicking.

Believe it or not, the best way to stop a panic attack happening is to demand more of it! Seems strange, I know, but it really works! I learned this technique from a program called Panic Away. The program gives you all the details on how to use this technique and how it works. It’s worth checking out.

Breathing in deeply and releasing. Start focusing on another subject as to distract him from what is happening.
