I've found deep, controlled breathing to be super helpful during a panic attack. Try inhaling for 4 counts, holding for 4 counts, and exhaling for 4 counts. It helps slow down your heart rate and brings focus back to your body. #CopingStrategies #StressManagement

Grounding techniques can also be really effective! Try focusing on the physical world around you - name 5 things you can see, 4 things you can touch, 3 things you can hear, 2 things you can smell, and 1 thing you can taste. #PanicAttack #AnxietyTips

Remember, you're not alone in this! So many people experience panic attacks, and it's important to be kind to yourself during those tough moments. Try to ride it out and know that it will pass. <3 #MentalHealthAwareness #SelfCare
