 Hellooo!!! The Internet, today I'm giving you my tips for when your having a panic attack and instead of losing control, you take control of that damn annoying mind of yours because we all know our heads always make the panic attacks worse.

When having a panic attack you struggle to breathe and just can't stop crying ,therefore, having this weird sound between crying and not breathing. However, there are many breathing exercise you can do:
- Holding your index finger on one side of your nose and your thumb in the other then take turns in breathing in and out.
-Take your hand and hold it flat out whilst taking your other hand and trace your finger up (breathing in) and down the outside of your finger (breathing out) - this one is useful when a panic attack is coming because you can simply do this under a table before the full panic comes on.
-Close your eyes and focus on the sounds around you -this one helps if your with a close friend- and throw away all the negative thoughts and try and centre yourself.

Of course, anxiety is different for different people so you can try these breathing techniques or change them to suit you. I will be doing more techniques in the later future.
