Panic attacks

4,7,8 breathing .
4 count breath in
7 count hold
8 counts breath out .

It's a bio hack to initiate the parasympathetic nervous system into 'rest' .

Edit : the sympathetic nervous system is our flight or fight system ....it initiates breathing fast (hyperventilation). You can overide it with the above breathing exercise .

Saw on tiktok to try focusing you eyesight on something close to you then adjust your eyesight to focus behind it like when you make the object infront of you blurry and focus on the wall but then make the wall and background blury and focus on your finger or pen. Supposedly doing that can help

Other than that i just wait for it to pass

I'm so sorry. Have you tried EFT by any chance?

Easy deep breaths. Start counting backwards in your mind if your mind permits you to.

I had them as a kid too. If only it was that easy to take control over the body and the mind.

Try yoga if you haven't till now

i agree Anxiety/ panic attack sucks... with me seems no medication work, and mind keep thinking without no reason... it is miserable

I absolutely know where you're coming from. I hate having them too. Life was so much easier and stress free back when I was a kid too.

In [i]this world,[/i] yes it really can. I'm sorry about your panic attacks. I had them for years.

How are the panic attacks now? It's been forevvvvvvvvver since we last chatted.

If it helps try doing or thinking of something that relaxes you

Yep, story of me learning adulthood isn’t easy too

Ah, Bless you.

Not every adult gets panic attacks. There are some good resources in managing them without medication, I found.

Definitely agree that controlling your breathing is the most important part of breaking the cycle of a panic attack
