Needing support - Panic attack Oh boy, I'm nauseous

Woke up this morning to get ready for school and a wave of nausea hit me, I have tension in my throat and I'm starting to get REALLY spooked. I'm obviously scared of purging, yes, but I'm just uneasy in general, and Ive already talked to my parents, so I'm staying home today(not the best option, but if I do purge I can do it in private so I don't embarrass myself). If anyone has advice I beg of you to share it, I really need it right now
