Can anxiety kill you?

Hi,
Meditation, yoga, therapy. I do it all and I have meds, but the attacks usually happen when I think about the past. Right now I don’t have a support group around me and it seems the older you get the harder it is to make friends.
So here we are, wishing I didn’t have to deal with this.

@cosette2024 We're your support group as you need us to be. Maybe writing about your past, figuring out what triggers that anxiety, will be a beneficial thing? Moderate exercise to get the endorphins flowing.

Something that has worked for me when I get anxious at very inopportune times [okay, when is it ever the right time for anxiety!?] is to "self-talk". "I don't have time for this right now. This is not a good place/time. I'll just need to address this later..." And then do my best to shut down those feelings. By the time I allow myself to look at it all again, many times the magnitude has lessened enough to be manageable. Does this sound like something you could try?
