anxiety is very physical and don't let others do the helpful things like saying "just quit" "just don't let it get to you" etc. it is your body reaction to the environment and your systems react quickly and badly. while others are letting bad things pass off them like water off a duck you are absorbing every dang thing. the emotions the sounds the fears the visions . all of it. you go on overload. non medical solution is to always move from the location don't return to it till all the anxiety is over avoid places and people that you know will trigger it ignore people that have lots of advice for you that includes discounting what you are experiencing. avoid caffeine or anything else that will increase your heart rate. try meditation in a quiet dimly lit silent place or just soft wordless music. it can be controlled but only if you can find a way to feel your environment isn't a mess of loose strings and unguided paths. you must feel you have control of your life. so take it. best of luck.
