Shameless self bump

Shoot yourself in the head, instantly and permanently cured panic attacks

don't know

Google 4 - 7 - 8 breathing.

You into meds? They're helpful.

take a hot shower or bath if you are at home

Alcohol
Stop being such a faggot
Breathing exercises
Anger and hate

Go to the bathroom and take a shit

Close your mouth, breathe in through your nose slow. Hold as long as you can, slowly exhale. Do this 10-20 times, should take you several minutes. Once you are in control of your breathing, you'll notice your anxiety beginning to calm down a bit.

Ativan.. Or just sit and cry it out until it ends.

i take meds for it

before the meds breathing exercises helped with attacks

Goddamn...those are some puffy as fuck areolas to show through the dress.

Listen to aphex selected ambient works 82-93

Exhale through your nose. Keep mouth closed.

Picture the breathing like a square with 4 sides. Lets say they're "5 seconds long" on each side.

Breathe in for 5 seconds
Hold breath for 5 seconds
Breathe out for 5 seconds
Hold for 5 seconds

Voila you have a square. Repeat it. Make a bunch of squares n shit.

Drugs. Opium especially

Escitalopram

Breathing.

Fully breathe in through your nose, hold it for 4/5 secs, then exhale through mouth.

Repeat this 5 times, and at the very least, your heart rate will go down to normal levels. Always works for me, always works for friends who are having bad trips on drugs.

Realize you started this thread with dubs and chill out man.

But seriously, try meditating on the fact that everything will turn out fine cause it always does anyway. Meditate on that truth and you can master your emotions

smoke weed

Stop being a little bitch

I had panic attacks when I was 18-19

The cure is to stop being such a little bitch.

I used to but stopped because I started working out a lot

Deep slow breathing OP that will slow down racing heart beat and then you should try to calm and relax your body...

I either beat dick or go and do some work. It's funny because when im working im fine but when I get off work my brain freaks the fuck out thinking about work and how much I don't want to go to work and how much i hate my job but once im there it's all fine. It's a brutal cycle.

That's exactly what goes on with me. If I'm occupied I'm completely fine, but the moment I stop doing what I'm doing, life turns into a living hell

Propranolol works quite well if you don't have heart issues. Very helpful and side effects are limited. If you have a doc check it. Benzos and SSRIs are important with more serious cases, but they can fuck someone up.

I'm taking that now. Started with 10mg but didn't work. Increased to 20mg, I was a zombie. Back to 10, panic attacks. 15 now. Seems to be working.

Meds I used to take. Pic related.

Not OP

I've been thinking about seeing if my doctor could prescribe Xanax. I've been told it works well, just need to stay away from getting hooked on it

hmmm

I'm on 20mg and they hardly work anymore

by fucking Bella Thorne

This.

Again, breathing, "relaxing your body" doesn't do shit. Xanax, Clonazepam and booze are crutches and wear off. Herbal teas don't do shit.

The cure is to stop being a little bitch.

Put a bullet in your brain.

If you have anxiety, like that gut feeling anxiety, it WORKS FUCKING WONDERS. If you dont have anxiety and you take it you feel stoned, sluggish. It's also very addictive, I've seen friends highly addicted to it though. But for those that have a hard time controlling their anxiety, a 2 week trial of taking a very small dose of Xanax, im talking .125 (half of a .25 mg), every morning before you leave for work or school.

If only it was that easy

Yeah I get that work anxiety too and when I'm off I'm just like wtf am I doing with my life bla bla bla. Sometimes it helps me compare myself to others and realize almost everyone goes through that shit and I usually realize I'm not in that bad of a spot. You just have to have goals that you work towards even if they're little ones it make you feel better

Benzos. I've read that long term use can actually worsen anxiety over time so I personally avoid them. I use a large dose of L-Theanine if I absolutely need to calm down within a short time, would rather not depend on it anything that fucks with GABA however.

I couldn't handle 20mg. I couldn't function well. I just slept.

lorazepam

I dunno, but some more Bella is always welcome

It's hard to stop being a little bitch when your body basically shuts down and you can't do anything about it. If it was that easy then there'd be no such thing as anxiety

Had the same problem, went to see a psychologist. It was mainly a problem of anxiety tied to new experiences, and me being unsure of how things would turn out.

Basically she told me to repeat some sort of "mantra", to stop overthinking.
My mantra was " the only way to stop questioning is blocking the answer".

Worked for me

Would you still fuck her if her cunt smells like rotten egg?

Find a safe space and sit down and challenge yourself to have a panic attack. Often times, it has the opposite effect

Get angry. Punch something. Get furious at the panic attack.

I could probably take 3 or 4 and still have no effect anymore

Hand wash some dishes
Make some tea
Sit in hot shower pretend youre on tropical island
Run up and down stairs for a bit
Make and eat food
Jerk it
Drink booze
Xanax
Push ups
Breathing exercises
Meditation

I've done that while driving and it helped. But at the cost of me almost crashing

>Breathing exercises

deep breathing doesn't work BUT modulted breathing does!

breath: FULLY inhale, fully expel all air, and breath SLOWLY

modulate the breath - focus on breathing

i had them really bad when i was going through cancer treatments (seriously guys, check your junk, the alternative sucks ass) and still had to work when not lightly irradiated. If i was cooped up all day i'd go outside somewhere secluded, or find a bathroom stall. isolating yourself for a moment tends to work. then just force yourself into slow deep breaths, acknowledge to yourself what your body is about to do, and then acknowledge that you cant rationalize yourself out of it. if you can control your breathing you can shake 'em in about 5 to 10 min and there is a general adrenaline/endorphin high after so you can go back to what you' were doing. Aside from that? low dose lorazapam only taken right when you feel its about to go down. takes like 5 min to kick in and you're numbed for a few hours. stay off long-term anti-anxieties as they fry your GABA receptors bad and are showing to pretty much guarantee Alzheimer in late life.

not op but thx man that actually helped

ive had good results with chamomile tea tho

This can be good. Or really bad.
Quit smoking. Overall, less anxiety. Schizoaffective as well, so...yeah.
Also, all I did was trade alcohol for the weed. It's not working out so well though.

>oh yeah sure "just stop eating so much and exercise"
>if it was that easy there'd be no fat people

Honestly man just talk to someone in person and describe what's going on. That always used to help me. You. have to realize that a lot of how you feel you control and it's all in your head. Take control of yourself and realize you don't have to feel this way if you don't want too.
It's All In Your Hands Bro.

How long have you been taking it?

It's a very mild sedative, not long lasting.

1. Read about panic attacks till you know what is happening to your body whilst experiencing one by heart.

2. When the panic attack starts tell yourself (not ou loud but in your head) what is happening at the moment. Like: My heart seems to be beating very fast, but it actually isn't beating any faster than it is when I see someone I love.

3. Don't be afraid of the panic! It cannot hurt you, that is something you have to be very clear about.

4. Get angry or annoyed when a panic attack starts. Like: What the fuck is this shit, I don't want this to happen now! I'm so not in the mood for this! It's hard to be scared when you're angry.

5. To avoid panic attacks: Eat healthy, sleep enough (8 hours a night), avoid caffeine, avoid nicotine, avoid alcohol... you get it. Avoid all things that alter the way you percieve the world.
If you are obese, lose weight. Start lifting weights (obese or not just do it). Take ice cold showers on a daily basis. Go for walks in nature if possible.

Started getting them 9 years ago, sucks really bad and if you are very unfortunate (like me) the tendency to get panic attacks will stay with you forever.

>ITT: Dosed up American teenagers reliant on chemicals to face problems that have existed for thousands of years.

A few years. Most of high school. On and off of lexapro (if that's how you spell it)

This. Used to take a lot of benzos. Propanolol, though not as well as the benzos, works.
Don't like to take more addictice stuff than I have to, anymore(I drink and take many, many pain pills every month).
But, that propanolol though.

This. Seriously though.

Oh, man. That fucking sucks. Too young for that. Were you on any ADHD meds or any disorder meds when you were a kid?

This is all true. But how about telling him how not to be a little bitch?
>The cure is to stop being a little bitch.
Little bitch.

>Make some tea

Caffeine is probably bad for panic attacks.

>oh look, a guy who's not me is getting laid

You think that's going to help OP in his state?

OP needs to simply stop being a little bitch. Maybe do some lifting, learn a language or something.

This. But, keep in mind, your family and friends will suffer. Would do it myself, but too much of a pussy.

Never had ADHD so wasn't ever given meds for it

Sauce?

Source? Please!

I do work out. I work at a gym man

seconding propranolol. shit's a wonderdrug for anxiety / panic attacks. It's also really cheap and non-habit forming.

You started taking meds in high school?

Think that you're the alpha, not a fucking weak ass beta, you control others and they are under you not reverse.
Works for me whenever I can get myself to that mind state.

CBT. Your body is responding to a threat that doesn't exist.

This is good advice. Breathing and meditating have helped me immensely. Also, medicine.

Maybe a little before. So for about 6 or so years now.

I will literally yell that to myself when having an attack. It helps a bit.

Well, I have anxiety some times and it always helps me to drink something, and I don't mean in the sense of "oh, I'm gonna get wasted until I pass out and just forget my problems", I mean like, just drink some beer, or a little dose of liquor, It helps me relax, calm down and then think what I'm gonna do about it

this is the best advice you'll probably get, other than the breathing/teas. things are only scary if you dont have knowledge about them, do research into physically what is happening so you can understand it and realize how it is not "as big of a deal" as you think.

do not take drugs. ever. for anxiety, depression, or any other mental disorder other than schizophrenia. all will have long lasting if not permanent effects to your brain chemistry which will only be treatable with other drugs. you'll turn into a zombie like at least 25% of america, unable to create serotonin or dopamine without popping a pill

put a finger in your ass, then you will think of something else

I'll work on that

? Yeah.. I'm talking about porn.
Porn. Start thinking about pussy. For me, it can take my mind off of other things.
Jesus.

Bumping for more help

Shit.
What I mean is, Fuck idk.
What i'm trying to say, is that when i'm focused on the pussy, I'm less focused on other things.

just start fapping when it happens

Maybe a porn with no dudes in it. Wait, lol, Why am i replying to you again.
But hey, the lifting of weights is a good idea.
You sound like an angry person.
How do you deal with your anxieties?

If I ever hear somebody breathe hard doing this I swear I'll kill the guy

Have some dignity

Soya from suicide girls, but sadly there's not much porn of her other than this video and another one giving a blowjob

breathe, u faggot

take benzos or if you don't have any drink alcohol. it has the same effect.

Xanax or another benzodiazapine. Dont make excuses go to doc and get a script.

Smell some black pepper

I sit down and take a breather, I've had anxiety for a decade now from a brain infection when I was 10, sometimes I'm fine but some days I get terrible anxiety, walking down the street or something, just lean on a wall or sit on a bench and control your breathing, helps a lot
