Also (learned this from a psychology teacher), for anxiety attacks walk and breathe. Your brain can’t tell the difference between spiraling thoughts or a bad grade and a lion chasing you, so you need movement. You’re still able to talk sometimes (even just barely), and possibly take action to work through it. For panic attacks, you almost go into a shut down, and can’t talk. Best solution: patty-cake (repetitive movement). At least until you start to calm down a bit. Also, it won’t work right away. You need to do each method for a while before your brain decides you’re safe enough to chill out. Hope this helps whomever needs it.
