Do you have any other coping strats?

When the anxiety takes hold like that you need to take the focus away from it.

Distractions are useful to take the mind off it, going for a walk, computer games, even doing the washing up can calm things down.

Learn some ways to relax, buy a tape or CD and make yourself practice it every day.

Confusion can be helped by grounding yourself, step outside and really notice your surroundings.

Slow the breathing down and this will help any light-headedness you feel.

Sometimes the anxiety can mask the real feelings that are trying to come through.

I know it's hard. Take care.
