Hi Katie,

to Psych Central!
Have physical causes of the anxiety been ruled out by your doctor? Do you take any meds to control the anxiety regularly?
I've had those times like you described. Horrible times of intense fear. I hated it with a passion! Just reminding myself that I would make it through, that I'd be okay again, helped in general. Challenging myself to "suck it up" and do things anyway also helped. What helped most was seeing a T, talking about things, and becoming frustrated with myself helped most.
Best wishes!
