Calm down!

My buddy back in college used to have random panic attacks. A calm conversation about something unrelated and a bannana would help a lot.

Something about eating slowly seems to short circuit the panic part of the brain, or maybe the blowjob jokes associated with eating a bannana slowly

This ends the attack by causing a buffer overflow.

This is "download and send to the group chat" worthy, but I'm too old to deal with the "What's that in the background?"

Put them in shower.

Turn shower on.

Leave. Eventually the soaked clothes and water will annoy them enough they'll stop spiralling, at least.

This would work on me

Point out, real calm like, that its all in their head and that they've got no reason to panic. Then trauma dump all the reasons you have to panic and why they need to chill the fuck out dude seriously

This might actually genuinely help, depending on the panic attack, as your focus gets shifted from internal to external factors.

NIGHTMARE NIGHTMARE NIGHTMARE NIGHTMARE

Would post this up around work as a PSA but what's with the subliminal message?

I've recently fallen down the rabbit hole of horse training youtube and literally all horse training techniques are just methods of managing anxiety. Maybe just getting a horse trainer instead of a therapist would be much more cost effective..

Ayyy it’s my ex

I heard you do this also when someone is having a seizure.
