Lowering your fear and anxiety will however also make your symptoms less severe. So that's really all you can do. Accept the "inevitable". If you're afraid of losing your mind, remember that you won't. Beliefs and perception may change temporarily, but it will change back to something more consistent, true. It's just a psychotic reaction to anxiety. It will get better.

Also eat well, try to sleep or rest and drink enough water or some juice or something. No black tea or coffee. If you smoke cigarettes, smoke a cigarette (or more).
Thank you for your words they do help a bit, it's just I want to get rid of these feelings, I'm going to mention them to my therapist next time I see her on Monday, so at least it gets.acknowledged.
