i have anxiety attacks too. i think since she is aware of the issue the first thing is to remind her that she is having one. that may sound infantile but the truth is we dont know (looking from the outside in) if we are having an attack or if it is real. how we are observed and precieved by people we trust is how we get back in touch with our core and make the effort to calm down. also some simple gesture like a cup of tea together or something appropirate for the time and location. she is so lucky to have you!
what can i say to a friend while she is having an anxiety attack? . my friend has generalized anxiety disorder and she has panic attacks pretty often. once or twice a week typically and when it's the worst daily. they get bad and it's pretty scary. i was wondering what i can do/say to her that will stop the anxiety attack or make it less bad so she doesn't have to leave class. she has a fear of throwing up that's often what causes the panic attacks even when she just has a stomachache she freaks out. she is on treatment but it can only help so much.
