Like it owns you. You need to own it! Anxiety is not epilepsy. Follow my quick guide. Look at all the people posting how much that simple method has helped them. It is very hard to have a panic attack if you follow that quick guide the first moment you feel it coming on.
You have anxiety and you get panic attacks. This gets better the more you don't feed into it and don't add second fear. So whether you are on vacation or at home or lost in the woods late at night, it's the same problem and it has the same solution.
The more you let the panic just wash over you without adding 2nd fear and without giving it any weight, the less it will happen. Don't run from it, just allow it to wash over you. "Oh haha, there's my body going into fight or flight mode again."
You asked if you ned counseling? A therapist would be a good idea. Why not? The sessions are enjoyable.
Have a great vacation!
