These are all fairly obvious but they've helped me.
1. If you have to go somewhere/do something and it causes you anxiety, first go to that place/do that thing in your mind. Focus hard, try to forget everything else, and just imagine yourself doing every step of whatever you need to do.
2. Remember that anxiety and panic are not concrete things, they only exist in your mind. As it is possible to further your anxiety by focusing on it, it is also possible to decrease it by KNOWING that it does not exist.
3. If you're like me and have depersonalisation, always remember that you feel just as you should feel, only you've learned to tell yourself that you don't.
4. When you face these problems and move toward the anxiety/panic and do so often, in time it will fade away.
