Terrible anxiety, shaking, can't breathe or swallow

Havent been on here in a little while because my laptop wouldn't connect to my internet,but got it fixed today and here I am...! I have to be up in a few hours for school and I worked all night tonight..Im so tired and beyond exhausted but Im up panicking so bad right now. Its been a horrible week for anxiety..(I know girl problems had to attribute to it as well). Just got done balling my eyes out and gave in and took that second Xanax dose at 1a.m...last one I took was at 8:30a.m... wasn't sure of what else to do at this point...why suffer??I already do enough as it is,,This has been going on since midnight! This is so debillitating.. Im over it. Im so tired..it feels like theres stuff in my throat preventing me from swallowing... I feel like my throat is SO tight like my skin is so stiff on my neck or like someone is choking me.. I cant breathe and to try and take a deep breath is out of the question...feels like something is stopping me, I feel soo nauseas.. and all of these physical symptoms causes my heart to race. anxiety has had me nauseas every single day for the past 2 months now I really cant take it. I feel literally sick everyday. Everyday it's my boyfriend asking me "whats wrong Lacey?" "Are you ok?" "You're okay.." and Im just like "I don't know, I just really don't feel good right now.." Same answer..Same **** diff day...Im starting to feel like Im going to be the girl who is crying wolf..before I know it something is really going to be wrong and not anxiety and no one is going to take me seriously. I just walked into my girls' room looking at them crying thinking something is going to happen to me and they're not going to have me anymore... I cant even deal with the thought of that... I worry myself sick way too much. I cant keep going on like this..there HAS to be a way out...there just has to be.within my 11 years of this horrible mess...I have had relief. Its only these past 3-4 years that it's been this terrible..and the past year and a half that it's been debilitating for me..its only getting worse and Im doing everything right..taking all the steps to getting better..and its just getting worse. I feel so hopeless right now,like its always going to be attacking me like the monster that it is,and I try to face it..I try to run from it..and I get nowhere. There just HAS to be some relief at some point,Im only 26 and saw a grey hair the other day! THAT was scary..thats how I KNOW that its stressing me a little too much!!! Hopefully I can try and get SOME sleep now that I took my meds and got this big huge VENT out!!! It felt good.. Im glad I have healing well!!
hope everyone has a great(and anxiety free!!!!!) night!

dear lacey, ust re read my post, and it really wasn t that encouraging, so sorry! breathing eercises and oxazepam is what help me most, slow gentle breathing, trying to concentrate only on my lungs, counting each breath, starting to count from one again, each time an anxious thought intrudes. its amazing how this helps my physical as well as emotional symptoms if you gently persever and practice it every day as often as possible, God bless

Thanks for your replies!! Maggie, my girls are 4 & 9.. I was a young mother so there's always been alot of pressure and stress on me... . When I was a child Ihad an abusive step father...n ive had some traumatic thinge happen in my life..my therapist thinks this is why but I don't really think so since its so physical recently its unexplainable but its unbearable!!! Im sorry to hear of your illness I really couldn't imagine!!! Stay strong, pray and try to relax!! ( yeah right huh?!?). I hope you are feeling better soon!! Misty, I have all of those symptoms! They are terrifying and make you think something is really wrong which causes panic!!! I just got up got a shower and im getting ready for sch oil...I feel the morning anxiety 90% of the time.its a shame!! Who deserves to wake up and start their day this way??? Nobody!!!! Its really sad.I feel like I have the stomach flu always nauseas too..I keep ginger ale with me always! Ive been doing good with not taking my meds as much (3-4 times day im prescribed) but these past few days have been horrible that I've been taking my prescribed amount just to stay out of the ER.ughh!!! I could scream right now!

Hi Lacey as many others in here I have your same symptoms.
You mention ginger ale? I Hope it's a caffeine free and sugar free, try plain natural cold water, I was told that also what we eat might trigs anxiety, a more healthy diet might help the body and the mind.
Exercise is a Natural " feel good " chemical releaser for your brain.
If I could I would exercise at night probably would help your sleep.
