For you honeybun
What you feel with anxiety and panic attacks are just sensations, they won't kill you or I would have died many times over
Diversion theraphy is just that not focusing on what is happening and give your mind something else to think about, if you don't give the sensations power they start to subside. One example for me was my OH taking me to A&E in the midst of a panic attack, I thought I was dying my chest felt so tight and the flight or flee sensation was very strong, I had to go through all the Triage routine feeling desperate, it was only when I finally saw a doctor and she explained what was happening to me that the symptoms started to die down, she was very gentle and kind, I think then that was the start of me beginning to overcome the panic, it did take a few years but that when I found out all I could about it.
Charles Linden and his method were the greatest help along with Dr Claire Weekes's books and of cause time.
