+1 on that.
Mrs WD had anxiety attacks and things that mitigated them was not turning in on herself and not getting caught in the feedback loop. She used to isolate herself (out of embarrassment I think) and not call anyone until she was in crisis. She learned to kind of stand outside herself and tell herself, "Oh, looks like you're having an event. It's happened before, it'll happen again. Now, what was is it you were doing again?
