When the world seems just too much to tackle, I find a long soak in the hot tub can help clear the fog (and sinuses!), calm the belly and warm the soul.

It is also helps to organise thoughts and put things into perspective again.

Naturally, don't be afraid to seek medical attention first if you feel this is something out of the ordinary for you.

Hi Pearcey,

I'm really sorry to hear that you're feeling this way. I agree with tranzcrybe that it's important to reach out to a doctor or a mental health professional who can offer you the support and guidance you require. They will be able to evaluate your symptoms and provide appropriate assistance. Please book your GP ASAP, if you still haven't done so. While waiting for the appointment, you can ring BeyondBlue hotline (1300 22 4636 (24/7)), it's the easiest way to get immediate professional advice.

If you're in immediate distress, you can also consider contacting Lifeline Australia: Call 13 11 14 (24/7 crisis support and suicide prevention).

I addition, when you have time, have a look at following links, it will help with a better awareness of anxiety:

Hope it helps a bit.
