I too have suffered anxiety attacks all my life. I am 66 and the best way is:

1. Faith in God, prayer
2. No drugs except for necessary meds like BP meds, etc
3. Plenty of fresh air, sunshine and healthy food
4. Exercise, getting outdoors, appreciating nature
5. Stay busy growing vegetables, hobbies
6. Pets are so calming
7. Putting others' needs above yours, caring for the people who need help gives you satisfaction beyond yourself
8. Watch comedy movies, reading inspirational books and literature
9. Spending time with loved ones
10. Pamper yourself with small but meaningful things like an occasional bubble bath, an ice cream cone, etc Hope this helps you because this is how I not only survive but thrive. Life is short, try to enjoy the simple pleasures.
