I can only imagine how taxing these experiences must have been for you. It is good that you had decided to take measures as best as you could at that time.
At present, it would be helpful if you consulted a psychologist to get an in depth understanding about the triggers and thoughts. Through counselling you could learn new coping skills that would help you too.
You could also incorporate yoga,mindfulness exercises and guided deep breathing exercises into your lifestyle.
