Hello. I’m scared. What do you do if you need to stay calm?
I go to my Dojo and practise Zen.
Kill something.
I listen to http://di.fm/chilloutdreams or one of two songs on repeat that really seem to calm me down: karen overton - your loving arms, the doors - riders on the storm. i've also tried listening to ashra.
I am prone to anxiety and panic attacks myself. When I feel such an episode coming on, I am mindful to stay aware of my current surroundings.
For example, my last panic attack started creeping on me when I was in the car. I took stock of the scenery outside my window and listed everything I could see (in my head). It soon went away again.
I saw this the other day, and am planning to try it. https://www.popsugar.com/fitness/finger-tracing-anxiety-technique-from-psychologist-48313621/amp
Is there anyone with you that can help talk out your fear (s) with you? Someone that can help ground you or even just hug you? I find that close contact with another person who cares for me and/or loves me, helps.
