anxiety atack

[dangeo]

in the middle of a anxiety attack can stay still my whole body has tensed up a any give me advice on how to calm down ??????

change room. dont stay in the same place. find a distraction. breathe slowly - this tells your stress response to slow. go to the shop or something - anything to distract you for a bit. give the thoughts no attention - it will pass soon enough. remember that.

Hi
The key thing is your breathing, to calm down type thing. Like some replies have said your best to take a long slow deep breathe in and then out, and just keep repeating that until your breathing has kind of relaxed.. easier said than done i know.
Try taking your mind of it by playing a game on here, when i was in such a state and alone in the house i went on a game on here that took a while to do type thing and it took my mind right off it.
