Focus on 5 things you can see, name em
Then 4 things you can hear, name them
Then 3 things you can touch, name them
Then 2 things you smell, name em
And then the hard one... 1 thing you can taste lol
It will pass. If you've ever had a panic attack you will know this. It doesn't feel like it will, cause well you're having a panic attack. It really does stop, eventually.
If you breathe deeply and slowly with your diaphragm, you can slow your heart rate down and help your brain slow down. This works cause your heart is surrounded by a sac that's attached to your diaphragm and it rests right on it. There's a physiological basis. You can look up box breathing, but it's just breath in 5 seconds (in through nose like your sniffing a flower that smells really good), hold for 2, out through your mouth for 5 seconds (like your blowing out a candle), then hold for 1 and repeat. Your heart rate slowing will help tell your brain that you are safe.
I'm a big fan of the Zen breathing technique. In thru your nose, working the diaphragm from the bottom to the top of your lungs until you can feel that you cant take in any more air, then out thru the mouth. Do this continuously with no breaks between breaths.
help
Everything will be okay.
