Easily the most reliable method! Most often, the best way to deal with a panic attack is to 'ride it out'. If you can, try to confront the fear, you'll find if can confront it, the attack will end almost instantly.

This is gonna sound super weird, but I push my tongue against the roof of my mouth as hard as j can. It somehow works, and js also not visible to others.

I always count to ten and think of 5 things that my dwarf hamster does that's cute, and that always distracts me and calms me down because I love my hamster 🐹

Distraction techniques work extremely well, especially mental distraction.

You should probably try to avoid screaming. Breathlessness will cause your heart rate to rise and likely add fuel to the attack.

Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda. As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience. Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).
