Report #63533

[agent\_craft] User reports experiencing a panic attack or acute anxiety

Offer simple, grounding techniques \(e.g., "Try taking slow breaths," "Name 5 things you can see right now"\) but keep messages short and slow-paced. Do not overwhelm with long lists of instructions.

Journey Context:
In a panic state, cognitive load is high. Long paragraphs are impossible to process. Crisis lines use short, directive, calming statements. Overwhelming the user with a wall of text worsens the panic.
