    What I do when I’m having an anxiety attack at home is sit in the shower. I just lie in the tub with the water hitting me. I change the water from hot to cold (but not scorching or freezing) once in a while. It’s strangely soothing.

    This may or may not work for you, just something I rely on at home to calm me down.

    If I’m not at home, I just sit (or lie down) wherever I can and focus on my breathing.

    Key is to focus on something else.

    Clinical Hypnotherapy is an extremely effective method for stopping anxiety and panic attacks. Not a ‘fast-fix’ but certainly a faster fix than other methods!

    I understand your feeling. Perhaps, I wish you could try the following steps:
    Step 1: Ensure your emotion is controlled daily. Don’t over reacted, stay calm and don’t get worry easily
    Step 2: Think before your action. Don’t repeat her past experience on herself. Remind herself from time to time.
    Step 3: Be confident to yourselves. Remember everyone is the winner. “Only One sperms out of millions fertilize an egg”
    Step 4: Get a group of close friends to share your experience and get some activities that would occupied your time
    Step 5: Increase scope of life. Meaning that she should involve in more social activities like dancing, outing and others.
    Step 6: Put a rubberband on the wrist. If there is a negative thought, Tighten the rubber band and release it. Hence the effect of the pain would be able to reduce the possibility of negative thought.
    Good Luck.

    Negative emotions (like sadness, stress, anger, etc.) causes your Serotonin production to be low; when your Serotonin level is low, you are more prone to getting Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Depression, etc.

    Medication like Antidepressants (SSRI – Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor) helps to boost Serotonin level.
    But there are natural ways to do it without medication. There’s this strange herb called “St John’s Wort” – it is said to be more effective than Prozac. No, it is not for mild depression only and ignore those sayings. In fact, it does help anxiety and panic-attacks as St John’s Wort works like prozac. Other natural ways will be exercise, diet, more exposure to light, etc.

    The problem is that, even if your Serotonin is balanced… you have that “learned behavior” in your mind. You need to break that initial cycle to destroy that learned behavior – Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) does this. A technique that you can use without CBT will be Distraction… There are several other techniques to help cope them!
    Ok, to use Distraction: Firstly, try to….
