Take some deep breaths - let them out very slowly. I don't really know what else to tell you for when a panic attack grips me it is frightening. Are you able to isolate yourself from people around you? Are you able to go for a quick walk?
Close your eyes for a bit. Breath deeply! I am sending you comforting and calming vibes!!

Absolutely! Being alone (feeling alone) when this happens is the worst. You are most welcome to PM me!

Oh my - I found the deep breathing difficult too (even though I offered this advice) - I just did not know HOW to help you and really felt that I needed to.
I tend to isolate myself shortly after an attack. And reading that sentence, I am thinking that could be what helps me after an attack - isolation, but just for a little while. During the attack - hun, I just don't know. You are at work - I have had many attacks at work. I had my own office so was able to contain (or hide) them. But I shall never forget the intense fearful feelings. I really do understand. I wish I could help more though ........
