Topic: What do you do during a panic attack? (Read 1644 times)
Take deep breaths and think happy thoughts. Remember that all that's happening is normal and that it'll pass really soon.
Yup I get these from time to time, usually when I'm smoking weed though.
Basically, it's like the world is closing in. Breathing becomes increasingly difficult. Reminds me of speaker/microphone feedback.
Best thing I found to do is to let whoever I'm with (usually they happen when I'm with people, sweet I know) what's happening.
"Hey, gonna lay down and roll my eyes as far back into my head as possible. Could you grab me some water and crack the window?"
I lay down and my only job is to watch my breathe, and feel the sensations. Having a panic attack? Nothing you can do about it.
Might as well really inspect it, become a scientist about it. What is this feeling? Pay close attention....
Wait a minute, I'm doing something about it...
Right around this point I drift off into the weirdest dreams, then come back feeling weak, hot, and cold.
Friends all thinkin wtf?
But really, shit is terrifying when it's happening.. Hope this can help. Can't imagine an hourly long attack.

Smoke weed 
Careful, bro. Weed causes me to have panic attacks, or makes them more likely.
Mencoba berfikir sejenak dan menenangkan diri untuk mencari jalan keluarnya.
Just keep calm yourself.
Berzikir & Menarik nafas dalam-dalam...
Dan membuangnya pelan-pelan dari mulut...

Personally, I have no such problems, but I think that cold water and rhythmic breathing should simplify everything!
Stay calm, take a deep breath and if you can sleep, sleep then before it got worse.
All i can do is just trying to not panic, sit and take a deep breath.
Hey! great topic - I used to have panic attacks several years ago. It actually might mean a lot of things
I suggest getting ready for deep work with a specialist to get to the root cause - it might be a repressed affect, something from within your psyche.
It took my at least 18 months to work through mine
But don't take a mechanistic approach of "I just need to breathe" - though it is a great idea to save the moment if you have something important to do right now and cannot find a safe place to go through the experience. Having someone who you trust and who cares about you is also very important and helpful.
Try to get grounded and live through it, do not repress. Thats my suggestion
Cheers!

I just pray to my Allah.
take medication and breathe
if I had a panic attack I would be more calm and not panic or confused
It's easy to say that when you never had a panic attack. The best way to fight a panic attack is right breathing
The breath must necessarily be shorter than the exhalation.
It is important to maintain balance - do not oversaturate the brain with oxygen (frequent breathing can cause hyperventilation).
The main thing is the rhythm: breathing into One Two, delay of One Two, an exhalation for One Two Three, delay of One and so on.
This will help you quickly calm down and get rid of a panic attack. The main thing is to quickly realize the problem and begin to control breathing

Slap my face and telling myself its all in my head.
I think smoking up will help to get rid of the panic attacks.
Worst panic attack - first panic attack. Dont know what advice to give..
Next one is much more easier.

Trying to take a deep breath can actually aggravate the panic because in such situations it is difficult to breathe deeply. Concentrating on the breath will let the body focus on the other side of the breath without having to breathe deeply. "This will keep you focused with the natural flow of breathing, and not force the body to rush into deep breathing and aggravate panic.
Anyone who encounters panic attacks try to exclude all products containing caffeine you will be pleasantly surprised.
All I can do is just sit somewhere calm and try to not think
