Hi LeedsUnited21, have you checked out the Anxiety section of our website? http://www.beyondblue.org.au/the-facts/anxiety . There's info there about how you can relax, as well as treatments you can look into.
If this is something you're experiencing all the time as opposed to a short-term reaction to something that's happening in your life, like an upcoming event, then you should see your GP about it. That's what I had to do, anxiety was making my stomach feel like it was filled up like a balloon and it was affecting my ability to work and concentrate.
Also, have you told anyone else in your life that you're feeling like this? Friends, family? Just getting these feelings off your chest and some support around you can bring things down a notch.
My best coping method is to be in a quiet room where I can lay down, relax, listen to music, and concentrate on my breathing, but different things work for different people. There are loads of people on here who experience anxiety, so I hope they'll be able to share their tips for coping as well.
best
CB
