Thanks for all your help.
Even if you can't ID your triggers, there are techniques to calm you down when they do occur. One I'm aware of is "square breathing", where you breathe in for 4 seconds, hold for 4 seconds, breathe out for 4 seconds and hold for 4 seconds.

There are plenty of techniques like this that can be worked on with a therapist or from an anxiety book.
