Same, i've been dealing with it for 5 years now, it used to be pretty bad where i would wake up in the middle of the night hyperventilating and i couldn't breathe , i think they were like panic attacks. I didn't know how to deal with it and i didn't want to go to psychiatrist.
But it helps by putting on some music that you like, something more motivational and taking deep breaths, it helps you to calm down.

I wish I could do that in school

I am good at drawing, so I guess I could do that

If you didn't feel like drawing sometimes just sketching randomly or coloring helps! Hopefully you can find something for you that works!

for me i experience panick attack and extreme anxiety there's some funny youtube shows and some drama that helped me a little bit in the day and in the nigh i use antihistamine and asmr videos
Hmmm, I like asmr

I went through anxiety before, multiple times unfortunately
One thing that really helped was listening to music. I would also do a little yoga or dance, draw and sing privately, they were major mood boosters for me.
Singing and music does help me too

i eat food or drink water when i'm anxious
i don't recommend doing that though, i don't know how healthy it is.

Music is also a very good help for me sometimes, but can also make things even worse, as music can sometimes also make me very emotional and can even worsen my distress

Food does help, good thin I don't gain weight fast

You're right but I really like sad music

Oh, the music I listened to was encouraging music or hype music because it makes me feel more energetic and gives me more of a drive. It's different for everyone. Ballads and sorts may not be for everyone in this type of situation.

My chest still hurts after the last little anxiety attack I just had in class

I know 7 types of breathing technique that I teach my patients, friends and I do myself, since I have anxiety.
All of them are efective. But I like the most the elongated expiration. The idea is trying to exhale using twice the time you took to inhale. For example, if you inhale for three seconds, you should exhale for six seconds. When doing extended breathing it is not necessary to take breaks before and after each step.
The breathing techniques are a way to deal with anxiety crisis when you are alone or around other people. But the ideal is searching for a psychotherapy and be oriented for a professional to how to avoid anxiety crisis and have a better quality life, tbh.
I don't know If I explained well, since english isn't my first language. But I'm a psychologist myself.

Yes, your right. Motivating songs are the ones that help me. But ballads and stuff are terrible when I have a panic attack....they make thinks even worse for me

I also sing my favorite song in my head
I think about my fav pick up line

Aww I'm sorry
I'm a little different, sometimes listen to ballads when I'm feeling strong negative feelings. They cheer me up somehow and if I'm scared, worried or angry, they usually calm me down. But like I said, in this sense, it's different for everyone. -

Drink copious amounts of Crown Royal in the morning before you go out.
Yeah you definitely won't have any problem talking to anyone but you might be slurring your words
-
Sounds like you have social anxiety.
I also have social anxiety as well bc my parents were over-the-top overprotective over me. All I can say is to take it slow & one step at a time. Relax and act like no one is watching you. My face still gets red & sometimes I start sweating, but continue talking I promise it'll help. Also if you can, look people into the eye and focus on that. If you're still having trouble, I recommend seeing a therapist.

Yunathehomegirl <--Yes there is

My anxiety manifests itself as OCD and standard methods of coping are really hard for me
Something that helps is to remind myself that my fears are a bit silly and when I need to calm down I go to the bathroom and take deep breaths and compose myself
-
So her name is Yuna even though she's not Korean?

So her name is Yuna even though she's not Korean? That's like being a black guy and having the name Alexei.
Nice sig

Tell me about it. I’ve suffered anxiety for 13 years now and every day is a struggle. I have had some pretty major panic attacks as well. It’s difficult to get through the day at times. I’m back on medication at the moment, it’s more for Depression but does help my coping skills. It gets quite frustrating to explain to others what it’s like as unless you suffer from it yourself, cannot understand. Luckily, my partner and daughter are a huge support for me and I can’t thank them enough. What helps me to manage it is self care. You’ve got to take care of yourself physically and mentally. I go for walks every day, read, go for a drive. Do anything to distract myself. You can’t cure anxiety, just manage it. Menopause hasn’t helped it either but I think I’m over the worst of it now.
