I think the sick feeling is mostly from anxiety because it is now the next day and I still don't feel like myself. I am also a bit of a hypochondriac so I think I have done a pretty good job at freaking myself out!

I am glad that you decided that you are not going to engage in this again. Its can be frightening, i know, because you probably never thought that you were *that* unstable that you would do that. i know thats how i felt when i first did it.
as for talking to t, yes. please talk to t. he/she will want to know about it. because just because it happened once, doesn't mean it wont happen again. our mind does funny things when we are freaked out. by telling him/her, they can help you with coping mechanisms for if you feel like that again, and also help you look for signs that it may be happening again.
as for anxiety, breathe. then immediatley go do something else. try not to "think" too much, because that just begins the anxious sprial, and the wheels spin, and you just freak out.
