Anxiety attacks and a way to communicate needs to others. 

By the time I realize that what I'm suffering is an anxiety attack, I'm usually too far in to communicate that effectively. Sure, I'm likely to keep talking and responding, but in an erratic and inaccurate fashion that doesn't actually help myself or anyone around me.

I'm putting together a card I can hand to others that'll explain what helps me most in those moments. I know I'm not the only one to implement this idea, but I don't know if there's a single common term folks use for such cards, and I'd like to see others' designs so I'm not reinventing the wheel the hard way.

Can anyone offer examples of what they're using or links to existing designs? What should I even call such a thing?
