How to break a panic attack 🧠 #mentalhealthawareness

How can you break a panic attack? The first thing is the most important thing. Don't leave. Because if you leave, the anxiety now controls you. So the most important thing is you're not dying. You're going to be OK. Don't leave. Then start breathing in a very specific way. Four seconds in, hold it for a second or two. Eight seconds out, hold it for a second or two. If you do 10 of those breaths, the panic attack is going to go down, like dramatically. And then write down what you're thinking. The plane is going to crash. And then flip it. The plane is not going to crash. And then meditate on the flip rather than on the terror.
