Anxiety attacks are hard to deal with once you\u2019re in the midst of them. The main difference between an anxiety and panic attack is that an anxiety attack comes on gradually with no hyperventilating and it\u2019s like intense feelings and thoughts of anxiety which you can\u2019t escape from. As there are warning signs the anxiety attack is oncoming, like getting trapped in your head with your thoughts, there\u2019s ways to divert yourself from a full-blown attack. Here\u2019s some tips to keep the anxiety at bay:<\/p>\n

1. Breathe!<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s easy to forget something so basic when you feel locked in your own head, but focusing on your breathing and slowing it down to try and get some control is very effective.<\/p>\n

2. Name your surroundings<\/h2>\n

Listing anything nearby out loud can distract your mind from the track it\u2019s on. It\u2019s as simple as saying \u2018table, sofa, television\u2019 and to keep listing what you see until you feel calm.<\/p>\n

3. Take a walk<\/h2>\n

Getting away from your surroundings can be refreshing. Walking to a park or somewhere with more open space can clear your head and stop the anxiety from hitting you again.<\/p>\n

\n

4. Clean your room<\/h2>\n

The most important aspect of easing your anxiety is to get away from the thoughts that are giving you anxiety, and sitting still can make it harder to deal with. When you feel the attack coming on, getting up and doing something can stop it from turning into an attack, even if it\u2019s something mundane as cleaning and tidying.<\/p>\n

\n

5. Count down<\/h2>\n

If you can\u2019t really move, counting backwards can stop the thoughts going through your head. Starting from one hundred and count backwards, taking a breath with each number, can quiet your mind.<\/p>\n

\n

6. Think about something that helps you<\/h2>\n

Shutting your eyes and envisioning something which makes you feel better can instantly change your mood. Even if it\u2019s something as simple as your family cat, your favourite time of year, the last thing which made you laugh, focus on that image.<\/p>\n
