Stoicism mixed with CBT helped me get through some challenging anxiety attacks.
I think Seneca shared these 'tenants' in his letters to Lucilius (book: Letters from a Stoic) but I could have that one wrong. Either way, they've stuck with me:
1. Control your perceptions
2. Direct you actions accordingly
3. Willingly accept what is outside of your control
