Anybody that has great advice for a panic attack/crying teenager?

i need someone to talk to but i dont want to go to a therapist just some one to listen i dont have anyone at this point and i cant take it. Im 16.Anybody that has great advice for a panic attack/crying teenager?
It helps when someone (or yourself) calmly reminds you that it is only a panic attack. Try to take deep breaths and relax your shoulders. Remind yourself it is not real - only a panic attack. Try to do something that takes your focus away from the situation. Like washing the dishes, cleaning, or go for a walk.





If you have been diagnosed with a medical illness or have a history of panic attacks you should talk to your doctor.Anybody that has great advice for a panic attack/crying teenager?
Ok for panic attacks breathing helps i have asthma so i get panic attacks every once in awhile. Also if you need someone to talk, try a close friend, teachers at school, someone you trust. Also if you don't have anyone to talk to at all that you trust try writing it down in a journal... if that still doesn't help I can talk to you but you probably wouldn't be comfortable talking to someone you don't know... :) you can pull through whatever it is you are going through
Even though you don't want to go to a therapist you need to for the correct medication to control your panic attacks. Actually you need to see a psychiatrist (a MD or DO) because only a psychiatrist can prescribe medications. Therapists, psychologists and other counselors can't.





Doctors are there to help you and you won't be able to rid yourself of these attacks without one. Panic attacks are caused by anxiety.
yoga just buy a book or a video from the store


turn on some random music like the sounds of the beach waves, or a waterfall, etc


it feels soooo good you'd be suprised, and it would help you learn about clear breathing, because that's one of the sole purposes.





a therapist would be a good idea, I always left mine feeling quite refreshed





but if you really dont want to , write in a journal


its sounds tacky and cliched, but it helps, because not only does it release the same amount of tension as talking to somebody, but it also helps you sort through your thoughts and look back on what you've said before





i turned mine into a project, and for every page I wrote, I would make a collage on the back of it, just stuff expressing my emotions and all that stuff





(: i know that makes me sound like an obnoxious wannabe artist girl or something annoying along those lines but the collage just made writing in a journal more creative, and i needed a journal so that i could feel like i had someone to talk to





:D hope you feel better
i would always consider talking to a good friend about some personal problems also you could write down off your feelings of angst, frustration or whatever else may plague you, put it in an envelope and keep them somewhere just to get it off of your chest





or do what i do and i just listen to music, go over things that i am having private issues with by reviewing them in my head, and hopefully i can just feel better by trying to forget (feels more like suppression which i am sure cannot be good.. but meh)





but i think it may also depend on the severity of what might be wrong.
Read.


Write.


Things like that distract you. I know, I'm 14 and I have been through lots of depression. It sucks. All you need to do is realize that you aren't the only person that's upset in this world. Ahh, therapists are too reliable. You need to see one. I did. Don't be embarrassed it doesn't mean you're crazy(:


They can help you get stuff out.


That's just my suggestions, at leasttt.
An emotional problem no doubt, complicating your health.. Your doctor would likely prescribe a ten-day regimen of a tranquilizer, declining through the last 4 days. And you definitely should consult with your physician.
breathe


therapist is a musttt


there good!!
talk to your parents
