The doc may give you something to calm down but it will take time to work I've been told to start singing in my head when an attack comes on trick the brain into thinking your ok worked for me give it a go there are loads of diffrent ways that may work for you hope your christmas day is a calm and peacefull one xxx

When my anxiety got very bad, lack of sleep played a huge role!
I had the racing heart and thoughts and simply could not calm down enough to sleep and the lack of sleep was making my anxiety worse!

The doctor gave me some seditives to help me get to sleep :)
Once I had a full nights sleep I felt much better.

Don't worry too much about no medication calming you down, honestly seditives usually do the trick :)
