I'm pretty sure I have PTSD from seeing something horrific in March (that is also the main reason I'm trying to CTB). It's gotten worse consistently from there and I'm having a serious panic attack right now. My chest is so tight I can barely breathe, my heart is beating out of my chest, and I'm having near-constant flashbacks. Does anyone have tips/resources/helplines? Anxiety meds unfortunately aren't an option. I really need some help right now

OMG I'm so sorry this is happening to you. I had a panic attack last week so I understand.
First I would suggest you lay down.
This is what I did.
Take your medication 1st if yoi have some.
Try to focus on something that was pleasant. If you can't play something on YouTube that's funny or peaceful
I just cried because my chest was about to pop out my body.
Look at the clock and know this should pass in about 5-10 min.
Try to focus on something positive and try to not think about any unpleasant thoughts!
You can do it. It will pass soon!!
