I get that way too Jan..
It's just awful. What I do is mentally talk in my head very slowly- I know that sounds dumb but it does help me.
I feel like my thoughts are running around in circles going 100 mph- so I say to myself (very sloooowly)... " CAAAAAALLLLMMMM DDOOOOOWNNN... THIIIINKKK SLLOOOOOOWLY."
Then I practice deep breathing for 5-10 minutes- this is also helps.
I also will take a warm bath with Epsom Salt. It seems to work as well.
If all else fails, I take Xanex or Klonopin and crawl into bed. LOL
