Holding ice cubes
Recommended by Jes
Less general anxiety and more full blown panic attacks call for ice. For real. Grab some ice cubes and hold them in your hand. Maybe one of the best things I’ve learned in therapy?

YES. Or ice pack (make sure it’s safe for skin or wrap in fabric)/cold water to the face - forehead, cheeks - and inside of your wrists. It stimulates the diving reflex and it will slow your heart and breathing down. Pair with square breathing (count of 4 in, count of 4 hold, count of 4 out) or your favorite breathing exercise for some fast results
