Embarrassing

I just joined this site. I had a really bad anxiety attack at church this morning. How do you all manage to keep this under control in public places?

It's really hard to do so trust me but what has helped me has been going to a psychologist and learning techniques like breathing and grounding our selfs its not easy trust me ive managed to make it thru certain events but for example i went 3 months without a panic attack till today

Yeah somehow sometimes they come stronger but thats why its good to look for help i mean ive gone many techniques to stop my panic attacks and i tried all of them today and i couldnt so i just took an ativan and it did the job but thats like i said we need help to be taught how to control it

The truth is when you are caught off guard you can't ride the wave, and tell yourself you can not die from an anxiety attack and breath through it.
