Coping strategies that may help

Deep Breathing

Taking slow, deep breaths can help calm your nervous system and reduce feelings of panic.

Grounding Techniques

Focus on your surroundings by naming five things you can see, four things you can touch, three things you can hear, two things you can smell, and one thing you can taste.

Progressive Muscle Relaxation

Tense and then relax each muscle group in your body, starting from your toes and working up to your head, to release physical tension.

Mindfulness Meditation

Spend a few minutes focusing on the present moment and observing your thoughts and feelings without judgment.
