=What is a Panic Attack=

A panic attack is widely regarded as one of the scariest things a person can experience in their lifetime. Here are a few signs to look for if you think you maybe having a panic attack:

* A gradual but dramatic increase in the respiratory rate, often resulting in intense hyperventilation.
* Numbness or tingling in the face, especially around the lips. May also occur in the extremities, chest, or even the entire body.
* Racing or uncontrollable thoughts
* Feelings of intense dread, or impending doom
* Irrational fear or intense anxiety
* Feeling faint
* Racing heart and/or arrhythmia
* Feelings of unreality or dissociation
* Sound distortion/visual disturbances and/or auditory hallucinations

While not dangerous, it can sometimes feel as if something more physically dangerous is occurring, check our guide on differentiating panic attacks between more serious conditions [[Overdose#General_Information|here]].

Certain medicines or recreational drug use can increase the chances of a panic attack, particularly with abuse. Stimulants in particular are known to cause anxiety and panic in some users. Heroic doses and binging both drastically increase the chances of this occurring as a side effect.

=Dealing with Panic Attacks=

First and foremost, don't worry, you aren't dying. Panic attacks may manifest with strong physical symptoms (such as feeling faint or numbness) which may make you feel as if something else is happening, but they aren't dangerous and they are only temporary. It is important to note that while the feelings and sensations are very realistic and strong, they are superficial in a physical sense, and represent no actual physical distress. Acknowledging this issue in an objective manner can pave the way for rational thinking during spells of even the most intense anxiety and/or panic.

If the panic is being caused or exacerbated by the effects of a drug, remind yourself that it is only temporary and the experience will end. See [[How To Deal With A Bad Trip]] for more techniques, or [http://chat.tripsit.me/ join #tripsit] to speak with people who can help.

With stimulant use, panic attacks can sometimes manifest as a symptom of malnutrition or dehydration, and dealing with these issues can help calm you down. Check our [Quick Guide to Stimulant Comedowns] for more information.

==The A.W.A.R.E Method==

This is a summary of a method found [http://www.anxietycoach.com/ here]. A more in depth description of the method can be found in the links at the bottom of the page.

* A - Acknowledge & Accept
* W - Wait & Watch
* A - Actions (To make oneself more comfortable)
* R - Repeat
* E - End

===Acknowledge & Accept===

Acknowledge your reality. Your heart is racing, and your body feels strange but it isn't your body doing this to you. It is all in your head. Think of the anxiety as quick sand. The harder you fight it the further you sink. You may be afraid, but you are not in any real danger. Accept it for what it is, a temporary sensation.

===Wait & Watch===

Wait on relief to come, you don't have to chase it. You don't have to immediately fix anything, remember this is only temporary. Take a moment to decide on a course of action, don't just jump in blindly struggling and fighting for relief. You don't have to act until you're ready. You don't have to act at all unless you want to. The outcome will be the same either way. This will end.

This waiting period can also be used to watch. Use the occasion to observe how the panic works, and how you respond to it. The best way to do this is to fill out a panic diary. The diary is a questionnaire which helps you notice important aspects of a panic attack, so you can respond more effectively over time. A link to download a panic diary can be found in the links section below. The author has given permission for this panic diary template to be shared, downloaded and reproduced, so don't be afraid to share this link with friends, family and acquaintances if you think they may benefit from it.

===Actions===

It's not your job to bring the panic attack to an end; that will happen no matter what you do.

Your job now is to see if you can make yourself a little more comfortable, while you wait for the attack to end. See subsections "Slowing The Heart" and "Guided Breath Control" below. These are effective methods for calming oneself. More on this step can be found in the previously mentioned links.

===Repeat===

This step is here because you might start feeling better, then feel another wave of panic. Your first reaction might then be to think "Oh No, it didn't work!". The Repeat step is here to remind you that it's OK if that happens. Just take it from the top again. It's not unusual or dangerous. You may go through several cycles, and you just need to repeat the AWARE steps again, as often as you need.

===End===

This is here to remind you that your panic attack will end; that all panic attacks end; that they end regardless of how you respond; that it's not your job to make the attack end; and that your only job is to make yourself as comfortable as possible while waiting for the attack to end.

== Guided Breath Control ==

One method of calming a panic attack works through controlling the breath, ceasing hyperventilation. It can be performed as follows:

#Count to 5 on the inhale.
#Hold for 5 counts
#Release slowly over 5 counts.
#Pause for a short moment and then repeat.

This can be repeated until you reach a consistent and steady breathing rate. Pace your counts so that they match a comfortable breath. You can always count faster or slower with more or less numbers respectively. Check the links below for more breathing exercises.

== Slowing The Heart ==

A racing heart can be an uncomfortable symptom associated with panic attacks as well as more generalized forms of anxiety. Two methods for getting your heart rate under control are performed as follows:

# The carotid artery runs down your throat next to the vagal nerve. Give the artery a gentle massage with your fingertips to help stimulate the neighbouring nerve into slowing your heart rate down. This will trigger the vagal nerve which is responsible for controlling your heart rate.
# To do the valsalva maneuver, after taking a deep breath, strain the muscles in your abdomen the same way you would to give a bowel movement. Hold the pressure for five seconds, and then let go. You may have to do this multiple times to get the desired effect.

=Helping someone else suffering a Panic Attack=

Talk soothingly to the person that is suffering from a panic attack. Move slowly but with purpose so that your intentions are obvious. Do not be offended if they shrink away from you or attempt to get away as if they believe you're trying to hurt them. Don't expect someone in this state to be entirely rational, but it can help to listen to their fears and calmly repeat the reality of the situation.

If they seem to want space, let them have it. People in the midst of this experience are often having extremely strong and seeming uncontrollable feelings of terror. They may not want to be seen in that state.

If your friend is comfortable with your presence, it may benefit them to have you guide them through counting and controlling breaths with the technique explained above.

How To Deal With A Bad Trip

Karanime: Added Purrli, a cat purr generator.

= What is a Bad Trip =

A bad trip is defined as a trip, or stage of trip, which is disturbing and negative for the user. The most common manifestation of a bad trip is through negative thought loops; a user has a negative thought which they cannot let go of, and continues in a positive feedback loop becoming more negative. These can be triggered by ongoing life issues, a poor setting, or something as simple as worrying about having a bad trip.

= How To Prevent a Bad Trip =

The primary causes of a bad trip are entering the trip with a bad mindset. It's often repeated, but set and setting are the most important factors which will dictate the quality of a trip.

Tripping while in a bad mood, or in an unstable mental state is likely to lead to negative thoughts and thereby a bad trip. Similarly, tripping in an uncomfortable environment, such as with people you don't know well, is liable to lead to negative thoughts.

If it's your first time taking a new drug, it's always recommended to do so in the [[How_To_Tripsit_In_Real_Life|presence of a sober sitter]] - preferably one with experience in the given drug. Human contact can help reconnect a user to reality, and allay any paranoias.

Some chemicals are particularly given to causing bad trips; for example, [[deliriants]] such as [[DPH]] are notorious for causing bad trips due to the scary nature of their hallucinations, and inability for the user to distinguish the effects of the drug from reality. It is recommended to avoid such drugs.

= Dealing with a bad trip =

Most bad trips are very similar to anxiety or panic attacks, and can be reversed by focusing on something positive, distracting yourself with some sort of entertainment or changing your setting. Something as simple as changing to another chair or putting on your favorite sweater can do the trick.

However, attempting to fight a bad experience is often liable to worsen things. It's helpful to focus on specific aspects that are discomforting and attempt to resolve them one at a time. You can start with easily solved issues of physical discomfort. Are you thirsty? Do you need to eat something? Having beverages and easy to eat foods like fruit can be very helpful. It's also useful to change your setting to change your mental state. If you have somber music playing, you can put on something more light hearted or energetic. If things are feeling overwhelming, it can help to lie down and try to reduce the amount of input you have to deal with.

Keep in mind that your experience will end, and that it's all a matter of time. Many bad trip situations are very similar to panic attacks, and as such the same techniques can be applied; mindfulness meditation and controlled breathing can help you calm yourself down.

Breathe slowly and deeply. Inhale through the nose for four seconds, hold the breath for four seconds, then take another four seconds to exhale through the mouth, hold the breath for 2 seconds and repeat. This can help relax you and clear your mind when you're having a panic attack.

Wrapping yourself in a blanket/duvet, the heavier the better, can provide a lot of comfort.

Don't be discouraged that you have somehow 'ruined' your high. The more challenging experiences tend to be some of the most insightful ones. If you try to analyse if it's going bad or well it's easy to get into a reinforcing loop if you are feeling poorly. Focus on what you feel and what you are thinking, so that later on you can go over those feelings and thoughts to gain insight as to your thought processes.

You may have come to the same conclusion many others have - that benzodiazepines or antipsychotics are great and will effectively end the trip, but really ought to only be a last resort. You can draw a parallel outside of the context of illegal drug use to those that drink heavily when times get tough. Instead of dealing with the hurdles that life presents they retreat to the bar.

= Getting help =

Sometimes, just talking to someone can help change the course of a bad trip. For this purpose, TripSit provides a 24 hour tripsitting service you can find [http://chat.tripsit.me/ here]. Come and say hi or type ~tripsit and we will be happy to talk with you!
