My anxiety has been up for ages. I realized that I'm experiencing anxiety attacks every day.

They're not full blown panic attacks but they're strong enough to give me symptoms like shallow breathing, fast heart, body stiffness, racing thoughts, and inability to distract myself from it. This can last hours.

I emailed my pdoc asking if there's anything she can prescribe as needed, or something. I need some relief from this. My first attack happens as soon as I wake up.
