Hi .... well, I get this all the time, it's awful....i know it's the anxiety, but geez! Yeah, you really can't do anything when this happens, and you can't even PLAN to do anything in the future, because you never know when that feeling will strike. The only thing that I do is take xanax..I know that sounds as if I've become dependent on them, and to some degree I have....out of necessity only .... BUT, then again, there are days I don't need them, so I guess I'm not THAT dependent.......however, when this feeling hits, and I'm either not near the xanax, or perhaps I'm out.....I try to think of some happy memories, or pull out an old photo book with lots of old photos from childhood, or say my high school year book, (from about a thousand years ago now!.lol)....or I take myself for a walk on the beach here, bec. we live on the beach.....it's very hard though, because when this feeling hits, it seems to just take time to "wear off" by itself, which drives me nuts too! I do hope you feel better soon, this whole anxiety thing stinks!
