A TikTok‘er shared a video of herself eating Warheads candy to STOP her panic attack. It was recommended by her therapist, because it “acts as a grounding focus to distract from the spiral of fear.”

After the video went viral, commentors and therapists also suggested Fireballs, Sour Punch Bites, ice cubes, Sour Skittles, Sour Patch Kids, and even lemons.
