I was once told that it is physically impossible to panic and relax at the same time and discovered this is true...even if you are fake relaxing. so when I had panic attacks I would just relax my body like a wet noodle, just go totally limp and it would stop the panic attack...sometimes I would have to repeat the process repeatedly but it would work. something else I have is my anxiety meter. I imagine a meter in my head. the needle is registering 8-10 when I am really anxious. I simply breathe and turn the dial down till the needle is about a 4 and my anxiety is manageable again. hope these help.
