the best way is to have something that will help calm you down in a moment of panic. it can be an object, or a note, or a comforting song. it's like having a "totem" from the movie Inception. something that is a reminder that you're fine, you're just tripping, and it will be temporary.
but you have to be aware of the fact that you're starting to feel anxious and turn to your "totem". it has to be second nature, so you can calm yourself down before you spiral.

ah.... memory/thought loops. they can get scary though. i felt like i was stuck in an actual loop, re-enacting the same moments over and over again for all eternity. i was panicking for a while until i started coming down. it was probably half an hour, but it felt like hours
