Hi,
I used to get anxiety attacks all the time. Little things used to worry me and I, like you would freak out. At first, I didn't know what they were and people thought it was all in my head. So I went on the internet and did some researh. The thing that worked for me was as soon as I realized that I was having an attack, I took a few deep breaths and acessed the situation. I tried to put things into perspective. Most things that we are anxious about, we have no control over. It's going to happen whether you freak out or not. I learned to seperate myself from the situation. In other words, I put my emotions in check.
This is not an easy task. It took a long time for me to be able to do this, but the thing that got me was the fact that I was literally making myself sick. I didn't want to be sick. I didn't want to have my heart beating a million beats a minute, the sweating, tingling fingers and toes. This wasn't my idea of a good time. I wasn't going to allow anything to have control over my life like that. It's totally mind over matter. You have to want it. You have to want to get better.
Try writing your feelings down in a journal. That's also something that works for me.
In some cases, medication is a better option. Anxiety attacks can be serious. If none of these methods work, get help. That's the bravest thing you can do for yourself. I hope this helped.
Good luck,

there are certain foods such as bananas that are used to calm you. try it, i know from experience that it soothes anxiety. one-two bananas should do you well.
also there are things you can do like yoga and meditation and they really help! even stoping for a couple of minutes and taking deep breaths will regulate breathing, loosen muscles, and reduce anxiety.
to relax, sit in a relaxed position and pay attention to every single part of your body. you have to start with your fingertips and imagine them glowing, and have that glow spread through your whole body, bit by bit. If you can accomplish this it will benefit you greatly although it can be difficult.
also, clear your mind, it's not easy but give it a try. Sit relaxed and picture all your thoughts as a cloud. make an imaginary bubble around you and put the cloud outside it. don't let it in! when you do this correctly you should be feeling as if you are looking into complete darkness or the center of your eyes. it's complex but try it
i hope i helped in some way. also if none of this was useful to you, there are websites that try to help people naturally with their anxiety. i know that the stuff listed above helped me so i recommend it
good luck
