Anxiety Attacks: Real and Present Dangers
When an anxiety attack strikes, finding a 'safe space' can provide immediate relief. This can be any environment where you feel secure and comfortable, such as your home, office, or even a quiet corner away from crowds. Many people find that their car works for them. A quiet bathroom also works well if you are in public. Try to get some cold water, but the key is cold and dark. The goal is to minimize external stressors and create a calming environment for yourself.
