Guides for anxious moments
Step-by-step explainers for panic, breathing, and grounding. Free to read, and not a substitute for care.
How to stop a panic attack
A step-by-step way to ride out a panic surge: name it, stay put if it is safe, lengthen the exhale, and come back to your senses.
Box breathing (4-4-4-4)
A four-sided breath: in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4, hold for 4. Simple enough to use at a desk, and easy to shorten if the hold feels tight.
4-7-8 breathing
Inhale for 4, hold for 7, exhale for 8. The long exhale is the point. Shorten the whole ratio if the hold feels tight.
Physiological sigh
A double inhale through the nose, then a long sigh out through the mouth. Useful when a hold would make panic worse.
5-4-3-2-1 grounding technique
Name 5 things you see, 4 you feel, 3 you hear, 2 you smell, and 1 you taste. A way to come back to the room when your mind is somewhere worse.
Panic attack vs anxiety attack
Panic attacks arrive fast and peak within minutes. “Anxiety attack” usually means a longer build of worry. Here is how the patterns differ, and why the label is not a diagnosis.
