I also get it regularly, about a 3-4 times a month - and learned to "break out" (such an apt description!) as well.

Lately, I've gotten to the point where sometimes I can remain calm, and instead of breaking out, just sort of wait it out. Its odd, but I've noticed it takes me around 1-3 minutes to get out of it, and it seems if I can remain calm for that duration, that I'll get to a point where I can move out of it on my first try. Its got me questioning whether I ever really break out of it at all, or am just convincing myself that I am until the 'timer' runs out. If I could consistently remain calm and wait, I'd probably know by now - but Im only occasionally able to do so.

Anyways, just thought I'd share my experience for any other regulars :)
