How to calm yourself during an Anxiety Attack. by [Shadows_Advice]
Deep Breaths: One method that I always use to calm myself during an anxiety attack is to inhale for six seconds, hold my breath for four seconds, then exhale for eight seconds. You can shorten or lengthen the seconds if you want, but always keep the exhale time longer than the inhale time. This is actually a legit method to calm your brain. (cool, huh?)
Distract Yourself: Just do anything to distract yourself from the situation, do some wittling, painting, writing, or even meditating.

Muscle Relaxation:This one is pretty easy, just tense up any muscle (your jaw, arms, hands, thighs, etc.) for ten seconds then relax it. Do this until you feel relaxed.
"Stop and Replace": This is a process in which you stop your anxiety-producing thoughts and replace them with thoughts of something that brings you hapiness.
Write Down Your Feelings: Grab a pen and paper and write down what is making you upset or anxious. Describe how and what you are feeling, just let it all out.
Talk To Someone: This one is simple, just pick up the phone and call your mom, or text your friend, or maybe get on the computer and make a tumblr post about how upset you are and hope that someone will message you.
