I'm so sorry. Anxiety is cruel. Are you seeing a doctor or therapist?

Well, I don't know whether it's anxiety or panic. Actually, I'm never sure myself whether my anxiety is "just" anxiety, or if it's panic.
Either way, the feeling is a terrible one. Are you on medication? |

For a few days last week I felt exactly the same. It's horrible, absolutely horrible. Just like you I hadn't been that anxious for years. First, remember it is temporary and will go away. I don't know if what I did was the correct thing to do or if it would work for anyone else. Not to overstate the obvious, if your doctor has given you a prescription for Xanax or something similar, usually one. (I get not expect ) My anxiety triggers may not be the same as yours. I did a couple of things to reduce the anxiety. I cooled myself down by taking short, cold (not so cold it's uncomfortable) showers; if I wanted to cry, I did; I didn't pretend everything I was okay; I didn't "make" myself do anything that I "should" be doing; I put all decisions on hold; I asked my boyfriend to stop talking (he was shocked but understood); I avoided anything that would upset me or make me sad, including reading, watching or discussing anything even remotely political; avoiding crime stories and some of my more obvious relatives; gave myself permission to ignore household chores and errands; and followed my Nana's cure for anything: bosses from hell, unfaithful boyfriends, car trouble, and nervous ailments of all kinds: a hot cup of tea and two aspirins (or OTC pain reliever of you choice. I'll be frank, it wasn't easy. I thought I would lose my mind completely.Take care.
