I'm so sorry that this is happening to you! I know it's easier said than done, but I wonder if you've tried some calming exercises. One that I've found really helpful is the 16 second breathing technique.
Breathe in for 4 seconds
Hold for 4 seconds
Breathe out for 4 seconds
Hold for 4 seconds
Repeat as many times as you need.
Another one I've found helpful:
When you feel sad, anxious or angry think of a person, place or thing that you love. Squeeze your index finger and thumb together and imagine this thing. Whilst you're imagining it, take 10 deep, easy breaths in and out.
I am really sorry you're going through this, and I really help one of these helps you. You're doing incredible, and thank you so much for opening up to us. We care about you and will always be here to support you through these anxiety attacks.
I'm really sorry I didn't get to you in time, and I'm glad you're feeling better!
