I have good results with L Theanine. Lemon Balm. Holy Basil. Really like the Olly Goodbye Stress gummies. Natural Calm Mag Gummies rock. You can stack the 2. Hemp Bombs CBD gummies are solid. The Pure Ratios 4 day cbd patch is really great for multi day attacks. And pain.
Sometimes vitamin deficiencies play a part. Like D and B12. Make sure you are getting enough of those 2. C as well.
Its ok to fall apart sometimes. Tacos fall apart and we still love them.
I'm going through a pretty rough patch with my anxiety too. Been isolating too much, but fuck is it hard to just deal sometimes.
Mostly working on being less awful to myself about how much I struggle with it. Anxiety is hard enough without the added self deprecation and shame. Trying to learn the "Its ok not to be ok" stuff. Spent my whole life ragging on myself every time I struggle and its gotten me nowhere. Now we try being nice to ourself, which is apparently really hard.

Yeah. All that... I’m just glad it doesn’t last too long anymore. It used to takes months to come out of it.

You totally stole that Taco quote from Gabriel Eglasies.

What you mean? Like lack if appetite or not seeing what use showers could possibly have?
I find when it comes to anxiety everyone has a symptom that really fucks with them more than the rest. Especially during anxiety or panic attacks. Myself, I feel like I have to puke, its like I've eaten something that isn't sitting well and Im on the verge of puking at any moment.
Loss of appetite and lack of interest in showering usually comes with depressive spikes for me. Though anxiety tends to be the cause of those spikes. Do you just get the general feeling of unease then?

I feel like I have an actual physical ball of fear inside by chest making it hard to breathe. Like an actual weight on my chest.

like if I had surgery to remove the fear tumor, I would never feel like this again.

Its crazy how a psychological condition can manifest these physical symptoms and make them so god damned real. Its incredibly frustrating, yet kind of cool to know how much control our brains have over our bodies, and what its capable of doing.
I hate anxiety with every fiber of my being, but damn do I have to hand it to it that it is an efficient and affective torturer.
This shit sucks I'm sorry you have to go through it.
In Canada to ease our anxiety we go speak with the great Moose Shaman Steve. Usually he recommends some weird cure, like pouring maple syrup all over your body and letting a deer lick it off, or diving naked into a pile of snow, or cuddling up with a beaver and watching a Corner Gas marathon. Canada is weird dude.
One of my counselors/therapists/witchdoctors explained to me many years ago about anticipatory panic- getting ready to go somewhere, do something, see someone and just the thought of that triggering a panic attack before you even encountered the situation. Dumb bastard DIDN'T tell me how to stop that from happening. Fuck you, thanks for nothing; panic is panic (there's a cool band name).
Now, I do one of two things; get ready early and relax and breathe deep, herbal tea, melatonin; all the psychobabble, mumbo-jumbo, anti-anxiety drills that succeed as consistently as Dak Prescott. OR, I wait until the very last nanosecond, leaving me no time to consider anything but being on time. #1 is usually what works best for me.
I want to share something I wrote on Quora as an answer to a question about what movie do you watch that has special meaning. This is not directly on topic but it's something I want to share with my panic-pals, anxiety-amigos and freakout-friends.
Thanks!
What movie did you find so compelling that you've watched it several times?
Babe-(Yes, the piggy movie!)
I have a panic disorder which I can keep at bay most of the time. Several years ago, I was at home and an attack was creeping its way into my space and I was having a difficult time fending it off. Nothing was working; breathing routines, music, reading, herbal tea…NOTHING!!! The tightness in my chest worsened and then the tremors started.
I slumped into my easy chair and contemplated another trip to the ER to be told that, no, you’re not dying, go home and relax. I reached for my tea and knocked the TV remote off the arm of the chair. Picking it up, I hit the power button and on the screen I saw the opening credits for the 1995 film Babe.
I worked in a music/video store when this movie came out for sale and had seen it numerous times. I liked it; it was funny and cute. This time, however, it was something else. The opening line from the narrator, the smooth-voiced Roscoe Lee Browne, completely grabbed my attention; “This is a tale about an unprejudiced heart, and how it changed our valley forever.” I sat up and pondered,”How can I do that? How can I get an unprejudiced heart?”
For the next 90 minutes I was no longer watching a heart-warming, feel-good wholesome family picture. This was a training film, a revelation, a porcine epistle on being a good person and how to treat others.
It’s not complicated; I basically watched a fake pig follow the Golden Rule for an hour and a half. By the time I was 5 minutes into the story my panic attack had subsided and I was enrapt by the goings on and personal dynamics of the creatures in the Valley. When it was over I felt quite relieved and grateful for the lesson and the distraction from my crisis.
I will play this on occasion, not just for stress relief, but also for the laughs, inspiration and escape it brings me.

My bro has gotten this and he went to the hospital for it... I think after drinking too much coffee after a night of alcohol or something.
I think I've had that feeling before and if you put your mind to any subject that you think you need improvement on it will feel like everything you did was wrong; that you're fucked. I've had it somewhat before, but not as debilitating as you're described, but it was still pretty damn awful.
Sometimes people will get it from smoking too potent MJ.
