Ditto on hugs for everyone. The worst part about it is that people who don't struggle with it don't understand why it's so hard, so it's honestly really nice to see people talking about it. 
Xanax is a lifesaver, if you can get a prescription for it. It'll keep you from making the dumb snap decisions that anxiety sometimes brings, and it can take down a full-blown panic attack in like a minute.
If you can't, there are some non-prescription alternatives you can try. A lot of people recommend kava (although I've personally found it to have no effect, even really good/expensive stuff). There's one I probably shouldn't name because of gray-area legality (it's illegal in like two states but legal in the rest) that works really really well, and some people swear by some nootropics, which are if nothing else very inexpensive and worth a try, imo.
