@drjoe_md: Sour candies like Warheads can help interrupt a panic or anxiety attack! The intense sourness can act as a sensory “shock” to the system, pulling your focus away from racing thoughts or overwhelming feelings of anxiety. This sudden shift in focus activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which can help calm you down. This works similarly to other grounding techniques. It can serve as a quick trick to break the cycle during an acute episode, giving you enough pause to regain a sense of control. Ultimately, any candy with a strong sour flavor can work, but the stronger and more intense the sourness, the better it will serve as a sensory “shock.” 🎥 via @Lindsay Kelly #anxiety #panicattack #stressedout #doctoradvice #homeremedies #sourcandy

I use these, especially at therapy due to my high amounts of social anxiety as well. They usually work pretty well. Sometimes I just can’t avoid the attacks, but they definitely help!

I've had an ongoing anxiety attack for two weeks now, I went to the ER and they sent me home, it was very disheartening. Thank you for caring, it means so much 💖

I’ll walk outside in the dead of winter to break my panic attack. The cold always helps me calm down.

Yeeeaaa problem with that: Most of my panic attacks are 0-100 kind of sudden. They mostly happen when I'm alone and my body is so tense that I'm paralyzed essentially.

came across this while researching diff ideas. my prob is my brain will convince me to ignore these shocks. I’ve tried sour, bitter, etc… I hate my brain!

After 30 panic attacks what genuinely helped was exposure therapy and fighting panic attacks by doing my best to stay with the uncomfortable sensation without leaving.

Yeah! I’m a therapist and I also recommend drinking ice cold water or holding an ice cube in the mouth for those that can’t have or don’t like sour candy

My heart goes out to anyone who deals with this... I understand what this is like so much... I made a grounding journal for moments like this and there's a free calming page from it you can try. Link’s in my bio if it helps at all.

I am under extreme amounts of stress and was told that anxiety/panic attacks is a way of releasing stress, my question is why does it happen with activities like driving when I've had no issues before
