Just of the top of my head - do you have calming herbs at home like camomile or hops? Any herbs or medication against anxiety? Take a hot shower also - it might relax you more. If you believe in a higher power, pray until peace settles in your heart. Calming herbs and hot showers have always helped me. You can also try warm water/milk and honey. Hope you feel better soon. And you are right - you should get help and things will be better soon :)

I know what you're going through. Most of my panic attacks are caused by me worrying about my health and more specifically my stomach. I get random pains all the time and so far (knock on wood) they've turned out to be nothing. My advice to you is to do whatever you can to get your mind off of what you are feeling. When you're anxious you are so intuned to your body that everything is hightened. My therapist used this analogy: When a woman has a baby and she is sleeping in the room next to it a car could crash outside and it would not wake her. However if that baby makes one little sound she'll be wide awake in an instant because she is so intuned to it. The same thing applies to being anxious over your health.

Here's what I would try. Since your in the bathroom try soaking your feet in some warm water. That calms me down almost instantly. While doing that it would help to sip on some water to make sure you're hydrated and if you can maybe try to read a magazine or a book. That always helps me. I hope that whatever you do you start feeling better soon.

Thank you both for your help....I took advice from both of you, did some reading & took a hot shower. I feel so stressed & anxious lately, it's times like these when I kick myself for not speaking with a therapist earlier AND not taking better care of my physical health more regularly. Thanks again so much, I can't tell you how comforting & helpful it is to post something & get responses & know there are people out there listening. Thanks :)

Happy to hear you feel better. That put's a smile on my face too :)
