HI,

I think its only natural when you are feeling anxiety it takes over your thoughts and you tend to focus on that....I know I do, I keep thinking of 'it' and why am feeling like it. For me distraction is key, I find if I wake up feeling like it and i often do, by the time I have got off to work it has gone and I feel 'normal' again!!!

Try listening to your favourite music or can you read a book?? or just try doing something you enjoy??? I know its hard sometimes when feeling anxious but if you can manage to do that it should help eventually.

Hope you feel better soon....not nice...I know.
