If you're reading this mid-search for something to help with panic attacks, you probably already know the feeling: racing heart, the sense that something is badly wrong, and no clear way to make it stop. Panicea was built for exactly that moment, and for the ones after it.

WHEN IT'S HAPPENING

Tap SOS and choose what works for you right now: guided breathing with a calming visual pacer, 5-4-3-2-1 grounding, or a body scan that walks you through releasing physical tension. Every session shows a "This has passed" exit and a one-tap "Call someone" button the whole time, so you're never stuck in something you want out of.

No forced pacing, no timers you can't skip past, no account to set up while you're already struggling.

WHY JOURNAL MATTERS TOO

Breathing calms your body in the moment, but it doesn't touch the thought that triggered it, the one that comes back next time. That's where Journal comes in.

Journal is grounded in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), the most well-studied talk-therapy approach for panic and anxiety. It walks you through what happened, the catastrophic thought behind it, and a chance to test that thought against the evidence, a process called cognitive restructuring. Insights then shows real patterns across your entries, common triggers, time of day, how your mood shifts after writing, so you start to understand your panic instead of just surviving it again.
