For me it was going to the psychiatrist two years ago and getting prescribed medication for a month that broke my anxiety cycle. The first time I took the medication I almost cried from having the feeling go away and feeling completely relaxed. I have no idea why but I haven't needed it since.
It sounds silly but breaking that cycle can help a lot
When I used to have panic attacks a lot I'd feel like I was balancing on a knifes edge for days afterwards
What medication?
I think it was a generic anxiolytic called alprazolam
