I'm on 100mg of Zoloft but still, every day I'm constantly in fear. I have dehabilitating panic attacks often. It never let's up. It's not feelings of anxiety doctor, it's a single feeling of constant anxiety.

I know, I know - this isn't the place for such a question. I just don't know what to do. If this gets removed so be it.

Watch hydration; Remember to breathe consciously. Fixating your attention into an active action can help with anxiety and distract your mind. Deep breaths, use the stomach and nit the chest. Inhale through nose exhale through mouth

Do a simple questioning of your surroindings, for example: Why is that particular window of that car dirty? What could be the root cause? And also say the colors of the things you see this anchors you to reality.

Allow yourself to be in a stimulation free enviroment. As much as it can. For me it's isolated, silent bathrooms.

If all else fails, chew raw fresh ginger! It's very healthy, grabs your attention with that constant heat effect, lets you think much clearly after eating it. :)

(THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE IS NOT ADVICE, AVOID AT ALL COSTS AS IT IS A VERY HARMFUL CHEMICAL)

Develop a nicotine addiction (like yours truly)
