as someone with GAD, to calm down while having a panic attack: first of, all cold is always helpful (like placing a cold waterbottle/ice cube on your forehead), breath mints also really help me, and some grounding techniques like the five senses exercise (list five things you can see/hear/smell/feel/taste) to chill in general, non panic attack related: making time for yourself, being alone in a quiet room reading a book or coloring (i have more but not enough characters, lmk if you want them)

I like going on walks, painting even tho it always ends up looking trash, and honestly being social. Not even with big groups of people just a couple friends and having a good time distracts me from thinking about what I was worried about before

journaling has been really helpful for me! even if there isn’t a prompt u write to, it sometimes just helps to dump out all your thoughts somewhere

quitting is the best thing you can do and i support you guys!! :-) if you didn’t know already, nicotine actually worsens anxiety overtime so it could be making things worse instead of better
