Coping Mechanisms

by ElPinko » Sat Jun 24, 2017 6:28 pm

Does anyone have any coping mechanisms when they feel the onset of an anxiety attack. Usually I just focus on deep breathing until it goes away. Any body have any better ways?

Slow, deep breaths are important. Meditation and clearing the racing thoughts are also helpful. Closing the eyes or not focusing on anything in particular for a few minutes can help.
Prayer can help.

@mary309,

There is a selective mutism forum here if you wish to start a thread there.

Hope you find some support either here or in the forum I linked.
