Breathing exercises

[akita]

I was wondering if anyone here does them for when they are feeling nervous or anxious and to stop a panic attack? Maybe somebody can put a couple somewhere on the forum or in the distractions list? My apologies if there is some already on the site.

Breathing in deeply for 4 counts and out for 8 helps me sometimes, good links though thanks for posting this xx

Thanks Ally and B. I did have a sheet of one do to that the psych gave me 2 years ago but i cant remember it but it had something to with people breathing to fast and it was how to slow it down. I shall print those ones out though.
