Managing Anxiety Attacks: Tips and Tricks

I smoke cannabis

Whenever I get panic attacks and my heart starts racing I either do these 2 things. The first thing I do is hug a friend or a family member. The point of this is to mimic their breathing pattern when your heart is racing. Ask them to take deep breaths so you can do so. The second option to try if no one is around is a deep breathing technique. Try in for 4 and out for 6. Breathe in for 4 seconds and exhale for 6. Make sure when you inhale you fill your belly with air. Try not to suck in your stomach. I hope this helps.

Thanks you guys so much for replying! Do any of you have actual physical health issues?

Nothing matters. Move your body, it’s telling you that it’s in the wrong spot. Don’t run away, be gentle and loving. Stretch. Breathe. Relax. Recalibrate. Come back into whatever you were doing when you are ready. There are no deadlines.
