Panic attacks are sudden surges of intense fear with strong physical sensations. They feel alarming, yet they are time‑limited and not dangerous on their own. This category offers clear, research‑informed guidance to understand what’s happening in your body, ease the intensity in the moment, and rebuild confidence between episodes.

Mental health exercises and practices

Explore simple, repeatable steps for what to do before, during, and after an episode. You’ll learn to recognize early signals, settle physiological arousal, orient to the present, and respond to catastrophic thoughts with balanced, compassionate statements. Guidance includes creating a brief personal plan for public or private settings, supportive actions to use on your own or with someone you trust, and gentle routines that restore a sense of safety over time. Each resource emphasizes practical language, pacing, and choice, so you can find approaches that feel discreet, realistic, and effective in daily life.
Remember that panic rises, peaks, and subsides. Move slowly, notice small improvements, and treat yourself with patience. If symptoms are new, severe, or include chest pain, shortness of breath, or fainting, seek medical care to rule out urgent conditions. If attacks are frequent or limit your daily life, consider reaching out to a qualified mental health professional. With steady practice and support, relief and resilience are possible.
