Have you ever tried controlled breathing techniques? It is difficult to focus on breathing correctly when faced with an anxiety inducing situation but try focusing on your breathing. My psychologist would tell me to breathe where my stomach fills with air and then exhale. She said it helps relax the brain

It is difficult in times of panic. I communicated the same thing to my counselor. Maybe catching the feelings of anxiety right when you feel them trying to start is when you can practice them. Even occasionally when you are not feeling anxious. That way you can feel calmer before it gets overwhelming. Also, I’m not sure if art is your niche but I enjoy art and it helps me relieve stress.
