hi guys!!
ive been getting a ton of panic attacks recently, like at least one a day, which is way more than i usually get
ive been trying to get some tips to help me with them but a lot of them are like the 54321 method and they don't work because im too busy trying to get air into my lungs to focus on what i can smell and it just doesnt work even if i try
does anyone have any tips?

thanks either way :)

oo okk tysm!! if im home ill do that
tysm that helps a lot

I haven’t gotten panick attacks before, but a few of my friends have and here’s what they do:

They keep lifesaver mints or ticktack’s in their pocket (maybe that’s similar to the sour candy?)

They said the ice thing works rly well (:

This one’s pretty well known, but if someone is with you, just have them talk to you. Like how their day was so far, etc. anything rly.

Hope that helps lol!
