Hi Lauren,
Welcome to the forum. Sounds like you are in a particularly rough patch. My anxiety isn't as frequent as it used to be. Probably because I am avoiding a lot of things I want to do. What kind of symptoms are you getting at the moment?
Best wishes, Shaun

I too avoid anything that makes me uncomfortable ! I am at home and have been having panic attacks all day non stop have a very high level of anxiety and just want to cry . It's like I can't get enough air in feel dizzy and faint ,cold hands and feet jittery Thats about it! God I sound like a nut job!

Luckily for you, we all seem to be in the same 'nutty' boat. :)

I also get the dizzines (blurred vision), get a funny 'prickly' heat, tingly hands, mind goes blank and get dry throat.

Is there anything you used to do OK but can't do now?
