You're welcome. A helpful thing for me is that there is a certain element of truth to "fake it till you make it" in anxiety. Obviously I'm not talking about repressing all your worries and not treating mental health issues here, but when you're in a social situation and freaking out, it can be really, really help to give yourself a moment, and try to project an air of calm. Pretend like this is a movie and you're an actor, and right now you're playing someone who has their shit together.

It's self reinforcing. When you manage to get through the social interaction just fine and people don't weird out on you (because they think you're doing fine and everything is cool), you start to feel like yeah, maybe I CAN handle this! And voila, your anxieties die back a bit.
