I try to do a breqahing exercise (8s inhale, 4s hold, 8s exhale) or I try to 'anchor myself in reality' by focusing on the things I perceive with my 5 senses (e. g I name things I hear, stuff I can smell). Or I name random things to distract myself (10 car brands, 8 things around me...) At times, I also force myself to calculate some maths mentally (u need to occupy ur mind with that), it helps me to withstand the worst panic/ocd wave and it is easier to react rationally afterwards.
