Having a Panic Attack Right Now?

This feels overwhelming and real — your body is responding as if there's urgent danger. That flood of sensations is terrifying, but there are short, reliable steps that calm the body and help the thinking part of your brain come back online.

You're not broken for feeling this. Panic is an intense alarm response; many people learn to interrupt it quickly with simple, repeated practices.

Here's what's happening

A rapid stress response releases adrenaline and activates breathing and heart rate. That loop feeds itself — fast breathing makes the body feel worse, which heightens fear. Gentle behavioral steps interrupt the loop.
