Using mindfulness techniques can be great for preventing panic attacks, certainly has helped me in the past.

Never heard of 7/11 breathing before! Thanks for explaining what it is - might try that next time I feel an anxiety attack looming 
I just do deep breathing, dont necceseraly count, i get rory to do it aswell, i know sort of stroking your earlobe or something is meant to help, it does with rory though he probably doesnt know thats why i do it

Ahhhh I'm so pleased to have helped. You can breathe in for 5 and out for 9 if you prefer - just as long as your out-breath is for longer your body will naturally relax

Mental health tips: what do you do for your mental health?
I've never struggled particularly with mental health, but I think that remembering to make time to socialise and do stuff outside your degree is really important - so I always make time to go to the pub once a week as I think it has a preventative effect. Seeing your friends and having a natter does do you good - you need to unwind sometimes!
I have, however, seen someone struggle with MH at uni, and what I will say is that there is help out there, both from your GP and your uni's counselling service. I've seen them work wonders, so if you feel like you could do with a bit of help, use them! It's completely confidential. And don't forget about Nightline too - I've heard very good things about them.

I did know that, actually!
I think the post above gives great advice. It's important to have some social/recreation/down time. Also important to let people know how you're feeling
Other tips include like healthy eating, fresh air, making sure you see sunlight everyday, and making sure you've spoken to someone each day. I sometimes found that especially during dissertation time, it could be easy to go a day without having left your room (esp. if ensuite!) or spoken to someone
Another thing is it's important to recognise the signs early on and to get help as soon as you can. Don't be afraid of being ridiculed or looking stupid. I've been told that had I been put on antipsychotic medication during/after my first psychotic episode, I probably wouldn't be so ill atm

Went down to the stalls out at uni today
had decided I'd be confident and talk to someone, but then just circled round and left... 
Partly because I'm seeing the counsellor on Friday, anyway Original post by purple-duck

That's brilliant that you felt confident enough to go down there in first place, that's a really positive step. Good luck with your session on Friday
Is it your first one?Original post by She-RaBrighton

Is it your first one?Just glad I didn't see anyone I knew! Thanks
it's my 2nd/follow-up one, not really sure what's going to happen, but guess I'll just see - found the last one good just to be able to talk freely about stuff, though haven't really improved at all since it, either. Partly my fault for not doing everything we mentioned, ish, but we'll see

It will be interesting for you to see how you feel after your second session. In my experience the first session is as you say, talking freely about stuff..... offloading, the following sessions can hopefully be about focusing on the positive change you want to see Original post by IDukem

It's definitely worthwhile according to friends who have used equivalent services, but it can take a bit of time to work.

Excellent point, I might have to use that one on my psychiatrist.
