Has anyone else ever get hit with an anxiety attack completely out of nowhere?

I was fine… and then suddenly my chest feels tight, my heart is racing, my thoughts are spiraling, and my body is in full panic mode for no apparent reason. It’s exhausting and honestly scary when it comes out of the blue like this. If anyone has quick grounding tips or things that help you calm down in the moment, I could really use them right now. I’m trying my best not to spiral, but I feel really overwhelmed.

@VersesAndBruises Also I ignored a big part of this
Breathe and try to stay calm
Think of familiar things, things that feel safe
Play your favorite music, thing about little things like what you want to have for dinner

You’re going to be okay
I made this forum like years ago but maybe some people’s experiences can help you
