I really don't understand how other people do it. I know well what I'm supposed to do whenever I feel anxious or have panic attack but then when it happens and I try calming methods it just doesn't seem to work and it makes me feel anxious and panic even more so the only thing I can do it just to lay down and hope it will stop as soon as possible. People would say "focus" but when I do that I start panicking more than I already did and I don't even know why that is happening. It's not a problem when I'm at home it's not a problem because I can easily just lay down and wait but when it happens in public I'm kinda lost on what to do because first instinct is to rush to the nearest "safe" place.
