Hello greysparkey, it's nice to meet you. Welcome to psych central.
Have you talked about this anxiety with your therapist? There are some meds that can also help with anxiety or you could try some relaxation techniques. For me taking deep, slow breaths can really help when my anxiety gets out of hand.
