If you want my serious advice, ask a doctor for medication.

They will give you some shit stuff with a small dose at first, but if you keep bitching they will up it.

I'm on 50MG of Zoloft (Sertraline) and I feel better because of it.

I had a complete nervous breakdown last year. Couldn't sleep, couldn't eat, fainted a few times from panic attacks. Pure anxiety is a feeling of impending doom times a million. I eventually went on citalopram and took solace with the fact that pure insanity would be a welcome treat.

It feels like I'm high on pot

Heart attack and you can't breathe at the same time. You feel death is imminent, but the only way to stop it is to convince yourself that none of this is real, even though it feels so terrifying and overwhelming. I don't get anxious much, it usually resides in the back of my mind.

there's nothing wrong happening yet your body and mind are having an emotional/stress/fight or flight response as if there was a fire in the building and a fire alarm was blaring into your ears. rapid heartbeat, cold sweat, hyperventilation, dizziness, cold hands, a tightness in your throat or chest, sometimes heart palpitations, a feeling that something is very very wrong, often described as a sense of impending doom. if you have generalized anxiety, it can be triggered either by pretty much anything, often no reason at all or by a wide range of different worries like health or your future. if your anxiety is more focused, like health anxiety, you might find yourself completely freaking out and thinking you're going to have a heart attack and die if you feel your heart skip one beat and every mole looks like a potential melanoma to you. it's absolute paralyzing hell that makes normal functioning impossible in any capacity because 90% of your conscious 'processing power' is tied up with coping and avoidance strategies, yearning for activities that reduce your stress levels and using every ounce of your willpower to appear normal to others when inside your head it feels like you're sitting in a room on fire that's about to collapse and crush you. forget about having a social life, education or career.
