hi,
right im having a really bad day, sitting at work and extremly anxious, dont know what to do - feel totally incapacitated and jsut feel like running out - feel really scared and dont know what to do .......help
hi amy,
Is it panic attacks or anxiety that's bothering you?
I get both at work. For panic attacks I just make myself comfortable and ride them out. They can be intense, but they don't last long and they can't do any real harm.
For anxiety I usually find a quiet place to chill out for 10 minutes. I take a few deep breathes and focus all my concentration on my senses (i.e. what I can hear, touch, smell & see at the present). If my mind wanders back to worrying thoughts, then I just ackowledge it and divert my attention back to the present.
These are just a couple of things that help me get through the day. I'm sure everyone has there own techniques - you just need to find what works for you.

Try going for a walk that helped me a little, also remember to stay well clear off caffine (Tea, Coffee) and suger.
Dont feel bad about going home to bed if its that bad, i did it once and after a while in bed it passed.
Try a quiet place also.
Hope this helps :)
