Two things that have helped me be kind and helpful to people with panic attacks. *outcomes may vary, not a therapist.
1. The body is acting like there is a tiger in the room. The mind knows there isn't but the body has panicked and GONE.
2. Most people can do ONE slow breath. So I coach them to that - "when you are ready, I want you to take one slow breath in through the nose, out through the mouth. Just one." Once they get there and return to panic breathing, I congratulate them and say the same - when you are ready, we are going to do that again. Can help break the cycle when not rushing to make all breaths slow, just some.

The first time I had a panic attack I thought I was dying 😅.....often so because they occured so frequently I would write letters to my friends telling them how thankful i was that they were my friends.Looking back that was not a normal thing a twelve year old does.
Overtime I found that laying down on my back helped keep me feel grounded and closing my eyes or covering my sight would help me feel less dizzy.placing my hand over my chest to feel my heart beat while I breath slow and deep helps.
stay safe and healthy guys

I'm a CBT therapist and in my experience it's the misinterpretation of the physical sensations that cause people to feel more anxious and therefore panic further. The more people focus on the physical sensations the worse they get so distraction (through grounding or other methods) helps break the cycle.

A few years ago, a good friend of mine had a panic attack and I didn't really know what to do so I just slowly approached him, hugged him, and started humming All Star by Smash Mouth (cause we had just recently rewatched Shrek together 😅) in a slow, calming manner. He hugged me back and calmed down after a few moments. When he finally calmed down, he was teary eyed and told me "I needed that, thanks

Panic attacks are no joke...Ive had them since the age of seven but never knew what they were. As a child they were like a once a year kind of thing. But slowly as ive unraveled the trauma overtime from childhood, they got worse and worse in adulthood. Most panic attacks for other people dont last longer then a half hour, but because i had no clue what was happening (which makes it ten times worse) i had a two hour long one and that day had a auditory hallucination from it at 17...Second worst one was a few years later, and by this point i had one at least once a month. I lost feeling in my hands for a few minutes and was unable to walk. Couldnt bend my fingers either. Luckily ive gotten a lot better and now that i understand what is happening the few times that it returns they arent nearly as bad because im no longer scared of the sensations and trying to suppress it

Best help I ever got for a panic attack came from a stranger when I had a massive attack while out at the store.
He ask me to repeat back the numbers he was saying, at my own pace, and started throwing out random numbers. 7, 12, 98, 2, 11 so on an so forth.
I've never come out of such a bad attack so quickly. When I asked how he did it, he told me it was a simple matter of distraction. The brain starts working to figure out the pattern to the numbers and eventually puts more effort into that than into focusing on your breathing, which in turn causes your breathing to slow.
Said it's how he pulled his daughter out of hers.
It doesn't work every time, but I can't deny it's done wonders for me when I'm having a really hard time, just having someone give me a long stream of numbers off the top of their head.
I will be forever grateful to the man in the store who stopped to help a stranger.

It’s been a long time since I’ve had a panic attack, but I somewhat remember my first panic attack. It came out of nowhere. I think I was in high school, living with my mom. I was in my bedroom when all of a sudden, I just started breathing heavy and these random thoughts raced through my mind. I recognized something was wrong with me, especially when I started crying, and did my best to hurry to my mom’s room. At that point, the attack had slowed down, and while mom explained to me about panic attacks, it made me somewhat relax. In my head, I was like, “okay, so this is kinda normal. Calm down, breathe slower.” I’ve managed to learn a way to calm myself if ever I realize I’m having a panic attack.

My panic attacks don’t usually involve fast breathing which is part of why I didn’t think I had panic attacks. Mine appear as dizziness, nausea, throwing up, and an overwhelming sense of dread that can’t be explained and all I want is out of my skin! Once a professional explained that this was also anxiety, it eased things for me so much. I stopped feeling crazy. But yes, it never goes away.

Thank you. For saying that sometimes it doesn't help to just tell someone to breathe slow and deep, and that sometimes you just can't.
I had a "friend" - who has a post-grad in psychology - try to "help" me through a panic attack by backing me into a corner, standing over me, and drill-sargent ordering me through breathing exercises, even though he knew normal breathing exercises were actually a trigger for me (long story), continuing to berate me for being stubborn and arrogant and rude and difficult / intentionally not listening to him / thinking I knew better than him / asking him to help me and then doing the exact opposite of what he told me to do. He physically stopped me from getting the thing I needed to go through the grounding techniques that work for me. The more he yelled, the more intense the attack, and the angrier he got. I couldn't breathe. I just couldn't. It wasn't that I wasn't trying. I tried. I really, really tried. I really wanted to listen and do the damned breathing exercises. I hate that they're a trigger. I know, physiologically, that they should work, and if I could just push through the panic, they would.
He was so smug when the attack finally stopped, like he was the only reason I got myself together and if I'd just listened to him earlier, I wouldn't have gotten myself so worked up, but it only stopped because I was just too physically exhausted to stand up anymore. I'm disabled, but he wouldn't let me sit down, because I couldn't be trusted not to hunch up in a ball; standing up straight makes you feel confident and makes it easier to breathe.
I didn't even know a panic attack could last over 15 minutes until that night.

What really helped me is that my Therapist told me they can't hurt me. It's not dangerous at all to have these sensations. Because that's just what they are, sensations. I've learned to just sit with it and I've noticed the feeling doesn't escalate anymore. Now I don't get panic attacks anymore.

Something I found helps with explaining this to others. This originally was said by a celebrity with bi polor but it helped me a lot with family that didn't understand my depression and attacks.
When it's raining outside, that is just a fact. Now no matter how hard you tell yourself it's not raining, it doesn't stop the reality that it is raining. With certain mental attacks or triggers, there's no amount of mental thinking you can do to just stop it. It's physically happening to you. Like can you willpower your broken leg into not being broken? No. Your emotions and issues are based on a very physical brain that is scarred or broken and it takes time to heal and isn't some abstract thing outside of reality.
After this I would just tell my parents. I'm having a rainy day and they understood what that meant then. They needed to be helpful but passive because there's nothing that can be fixed in that moment. It takes years and sometimes medication and nothing is accomplished when trying to fix it during a rainy day.
Hope that made sense and helped. As always modify this to your personal liking and how best works for you.

This made me cry... I think this might have given me an answer to the cause of my 20+ years of panic attacks/agoraphobia... (I was raised in a household that didn't allow feelings, even pleasant ones, like joy)
PS if anyone 'can't breathe deep' during a panic attack, try breathing out first. That works for me, maybe it'll help for you!

Anxiety is a bully that never truly does away.
