Sounds like Panic too me. Are there heavy things going on in your life?

The main thing you need to know (that I find) is that the more you think about it, the worse it gets and the longer it continues.

Try exercising, and doing things in general that will help keep your mind off of your symptoms.

The mind is a powerful thing.

When I suffered PA's they were debilitating. You're actualy doing the right thing at the mo - you just need to do more of it. Distraction.

Surf the net, read a book, start cleaning (thats not sexist btw - cleaning helps me), watch tv, to be honest anything you like doing. In distracting yourself you take the focus away and in time relax more.

Not easy to do at first as I couldn't watch TV for a long time, but I do have several things I like and do when I get a little too anx. Most of them involve the PC - games, on-line games, chat, watching new episodes of series only available on-line .....

Believe it or not, I spent a good while looking up the Parking Law when I was anxious - part distraction, part me being a pedant.

Whatever distraction methods you decide to use will help.

Life can get very scary sometimes Daniel, and when your suffering from anxiety it makes it all the worse. Believe me when I say you are not the only one to be feeling this way, I've often felt the same as you myself... infact thinking about life is starting to make me feel panicky right now lol. :winks:

Honestly though, when you have an elevated sense of anxiety everything feels scary, that's common. Just try and get some help from your Doctor and speak to friends and family and let them know how you're feeling. Right now you could do with some support.
