꒷꒦ learn your triggers
↺ by learning your triggers , you can avoid them . though , i know sometimes you can't avoid whatever's causing your panic attacks , then do the steps that are stated above . 

꒷꒦ focus on one thing
↺ try to not focus on the panic attack . focus on the things that make you happy . chocolate ? books ? leaves ? trees ? it can be as simple as a picture you saw that morning . anything that can take your mind off things .
