oooh yes! i am feeling this today, too. my pdoc has given me anti-anxiety medication for this, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

when it doesn't, i do like wanttoheal - just ride with it. it's especially difficult when there are so few places in this world where there are no weird sounds, even on the countryside some sounds can be frightening.

or then i try and see if it's a little feeling that fear, and start playing a kids game, or cuddling up with a stuffie and watch cartoons or something like that. sometimes i read kids stories aloud. (though that requires concentration)

hope there were a few ideas you think you could try sometime, i'm sorry you're feeling that right now - it is almost paralyzing sometimes (ironically).. sending you safe hugs if you want/need them.
