Panicking and Anxiety is rising

This weekend my anxiety has been peaking lately.....unwanted chest pains and difficulty breathing and such.
I have no benzo's to help and no anti anxiety meds and can't talk to the pdoc till tomorrow. Was fine in the office on Friday but I don't know what's wrong with me as of late. If you were stuck in an anxiety attack but felt like you had no way out what would you do?

Oh yes, breathing exercises do help! Especially (and this is weird), sit upright in a chair and put your arms behind you, behind the chair back. That forces your diagphagm to move properly...

A really warm bath and maybe candle might be relaxing

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
