How does r9k deal with "real" panic attacks?

>>38808556
Don't think I've ever had one.
>tfw too headstrong for panic attacks

>>38808556
either i try to calm down as much as possible and avoid having one or i just have to sit through it and hope it doesn't last too long

I was fortunate that when I started getting them I went to a doctor who told me, "I can give you anxiety medication but just know you don't take them on time or stop you'll have a huge panic attack".
He recommended learning to properly breathe and meditate. It took a couple years but I was able to curb them. I noticed a connection with food and panic attacks too so I regulated my diet so I'm not too full or hungry better.

i just relax lmao

I don't really.

At worst, I've ended up in the emergency room a few times because I thought I was legitimately fucking dying.

At best, I take some deep breaths and try to distract myself from it and it sometimes works.

The large majority of the time, I just take some xanax when I get 'the feeling' and I'm okay.

I am starting to get them in all my uni classes. This is really weird as I had never experienced them in the past at uni (I did years ago at a different part of my life).

I honestly feel incredibly scared. I am doing so well at turning my life around and I am going to lose it because of this.

I just pace around my room letting it get worse and worse until it goes away on its own.

The first thing i do is get to a room or anywhere that is the most empty/alone. Then i sit down; a floor, chair, whatever is there. Then i sit and wait until i feel like i can think again.

Try to reassure yourself that this is just your body overreacting to stress and the physical symptoms will pass in time.
Try to separate your conscious thoughts (that you control) from what's happening to your body.

i've only ever had one real severe one but breathing deeply and focusing just on that helps a lot

But how do you do this without looking autistic? This just makes me panic more.

>>38808556
Distraction from the original trigger. Works for me.

>constant feel of anxiety
>no real reason for it
>get stressed out and get physical symptoms of it

I-It's only temporarily right.. guys?

Try my best to focus on something else like a game or music.

I needed someone to talk to. I would call my grandmother and she was pretty good at calming me down. When I couldn't contact her I would take a benzo and then take a nap after the panic subsided.

I don't get them as much anymore.

Nah, anxiety and being prone to panic attacks is a permanent unfixable thing. You can mentally train yourself to try and subdue it but it'll always be there and sometimes there's just no helping it.

Are you a teenage girl?

I once had this 20+ minutes moment where I felt intense fear and didn't wanna look away from the door in my room.
Almost cried as well.
Man that sucked.
