Anyway thanks x

If you can't get away from there immediately then tell yourself you are ok. It's going to be OK.

Don't look around and panic. Close your eyes if safe to do so and think of some nice, safe place. Somewhere you visited in the past.

Count to ten slowly. Concentrate on your breathing . Breath in for count of four and out slowly.

Praying helps and so does singing. If not able to sing out loud then just in your head.

As soon as you can get a drink of water and try to relax.

God Bless x
