Anxiety attack

I had a scary one as a youngster. My parents acted calmly. I told my dad how I was feeling., A tenet of life I took from him that night, is still with me. He held me for a few seconds telling meI’d be ok. Then he said if I ever felt that way again or got scared, to slowly close my hands into fists and say “ I can overcome this!” I’ve applied that tenet a few times and I squared myself away.
Good luck, hope you don’t have any more.
