Having some coping strategies help, depends when anxiety or panic attacks occur and what triggers them. Identify your anxiety or fear can help, actually verbalising your thoughts and feelings help greatly |

If it’s a future anxiety I’ll make lists of what could
Go wrong and make 2/3 plans of what to do.
Although my anxiety is spectrum based so it might be different.
Mid overload I can be touched by a select few
People in 2 bodily places
Calling someone and ranting
Stimming heavily.
It is trial and error. But when you find your things…. Tell someone
And working out your triggers too. |

those who live in the past are depressed
those who live in the future are anxious
and those who live in the present are at peace
Maybe meditation there are centres in towns and cities that do courses with practitioners |

Beta blockers have been really helpful for me when I find myself spiralling.
They don't remove the anxiety but they help me cope better with the physical aspects of it so I'm free to work on the mental aspects. |

So one of the things I use now which help stave off anxiety before bed is my weighted blanket, the weight allows my heart rate to stay low and calm, didn’t really used to believe how well these would work but highly recommend |

I totally forgot about my weighted blanket. It was a game changer when I needed it. |

Ground yourself
Learn and practice relaxation, so that ecan automatically reinstalle that calm state of mind at will. By regularly relaxing, it will become your more automatical default.
Spend time in nature |
