Oh Janet, I'm so sorry to hear that. It really is horrible, I can sympathise. I've often wondered which is worse, depression or anxiety and I've slowly come to the conclusion that anxiety wins hands down :-(
Exercise is pretty good at easing it, but its only a temporary measure. I also find being outside is better than being inside too.
Stupid as it sounds though, try to laugh at your symptoms rather than letting them bother you. It might not actually make them better but it does help break the cycle of worry causing worry.
The fact my anxiety can just kind of vanish (well ease dramatically anyway) for no apparent reason suggests there is a biological basis for it, but what that might be I have no idea.
