Other sensations, like hot water or ice, could even be like pressure. I like eating ice with my weighted blanket and listening to loud music I like. Or there’s that girl on tiktok who like aggressively works out when she’s having a panic attack to wear herself out, that can help. Also a big fan of just saying out loud, “you have a severe anxiety disorder, nothing is wrong, everything will be fine”, I think it just helps my brain remember why I’m panicking and lets me calm down a bit.

i have panic disorder, it’s best to learn how to cope with them instead of trying outrageous things, but in emergencies ill stick an ice cube down my back and let it melt, or ill listen to some stupid horny 2000s song like gas pedal or get low or hot in herre because for some reason those are really good at distracting me

I honestly have very severe anxiety and I’ve tried a few things to help with it but I’d suppose the most outrageous thing I did was walk into the woods and follow random deer trails for hours on end.

I def drank a glass of wine when it finally got so bad while I was pregnant. Just one. Italians do it often. But other than that i took CBD and that was good too and then go for a walk or read or take a warm bath.

There’s actually psychological about that. It’s sumn ab how if you were eating as a caveman it would be mean that you’re safe so now we subconsciously perceive it as us being safe

It was at a nature reserve, and I knew the landscape extremely well ( i was a volunteer there for years). Probably not my brightest moment(s) but it did help a little.

I have general anxiety and used to have panic attacks. I genuinely don’t want to torture myself with ice if I don’t have the urge to sh yk? But I have my own discretion to not do anything unsafe to cope, and if something is not unsafe to me or others then it’s a totally valid coping mechanism, things can be outrageous without being unsafe

I’m always convinced that something is ACTUALLY wrong, like THIS time it’s something different. I genuinely think it’s ocd but haven’t been with a therapist long enough to diagnose yet. I also DO have general anxiety and sometimes it does help to just say “your heart is racing bc you have anxiety, it won’t kill you”
