Panic
What do you do when you start to feel a panic/anxiety attack there? Like it might happen but it might not. Like you just feel on edge and one tiny little push could send you into said panic? I feel like right now I'm either going to start panicking or at some point I'll get pushed over the edge and panic possibly at a less convenient time. I don't know if this makes sense but hopefully it does. I also can never really tell what will bring on an attack as I'll be ok and thinking and then suddenly it hits without warning and there's nothing I can do to help it.
Any advice?

The problem is if I actually do have a panic attack I don't know it's happening until it's started. It just comes on very very quickly and suddenly I can't breathe
