People don’t turn up to new jobs for lots of reasons so you can decline the job after accepting it. They’ll be annoyed but get over it.

It seems an unusual reaction though? Are you sure you don’t want the new job having gone for it and secured it and wanted it?

What does your panic relate to? Is it your boss’s reaction? How did you feel before you spoke to her?

I don’t think it’s too late to back out, but it seems important to find out first that it’s the right decision for you.

You intentionally looked for a job, applied, passed the interview etc etc so you must have had good reasons.
how did you feel during that process? Can you spend some time tonight working out why you’re feeling this way now?

Why did you want to leave your current job in the first place?
