Anxiety will not go away

As I am typing this I feel like I am going to have a panic attack. Nothing is happening, literally nothing. I am just sitting here, typing this post yet my anxiety is through the roof. It's constant, day in, day out. Some days it's worse than others but it is always there, this intense irrational fear and feeling of impending doom. My anxiety was bad before but it has become 10 times as bad and I can barely go anywhere anymore. I went to the supermarket earlier today and I almost got a panic attack, my heart was pumping through my chest. I literally don't know what's going on in my body at the moment, it's so horrible. My body goes from cold to hot to cold over and over, my hands and feet are really cold and I feel weak all over. I hope this passes soon.

Stay strong man, all of these things causing you to feel anxious are in your head. You can take control over yourself.
I'd recommend you practice some form of prayer (if religious) or meditation to help yourself calm down. I've had moments where I hyperventilated a lot for no apparent reason, but since I've found ways to deal with this.
One way to deal with this issue is to:
  • Take a small moment away and forget everything
  • Settle down in a bed/chair/sofa/floor mat and breathe slowly and deeply
  • Refocus on your mind and remind yourself of what is actually happening. Remind yourself of the moment you're living and the tasks that you have to deal with, and tell yourself how exactly you're gonna do them. Be confident in how you talk to yourself, and never plant seeds of doubt in your mind
  • Once you feel that you've gotten everything under control, go back to what you were doing
Of course it's probably difficult to practice this in public places, but doing it at home constantly will allow you to be calmer throughout the day.
I hope this can be of help, and good luck to you my friend!
 
Was just reading this article and want to pass it around (visit the link to read the rest):

In fact, in recent years, neuroscience has confirmed the wisdom of Scripture when it tells us to replace anxiety and fear with thanksgiving and remembrance of God’s faithfulness. Research has shown that the brain is more malleable in its neural networks than previously assumed. Scientists are realizing that neurogenesis (the birth of new neurons) and neuroplasticity (the malleability of neural circuits) work together to reshape our brains, and thus our thoughts and behaviors.

I recently spoke with Christian psychotherapist Deborah Bumbaugh on this topic. “The medical world is confirming what Scripture says about the impact of our thoughts and feelings on our brains,” she explained. “We’re seeing that what we think about actually grows neural networks. When it comes to discussing neuroplasticity — the brain’s ability to change throughout our lives — we like to say, where neurons fire, they wire. Meaning that the more we think about something, the more we grow that neural connection.”

By training our brains to battle anxiety through minor troubles, we can develop emotional stamina to endure harder times when they come. The reality is that everyone suffers at some point. Jesus himself said, “In the world you will have tribulation.” Suffering is just part of living in a fallen and broken world — but it doesn’t have to break us. Scripture shows us how to take advantage of the neuroplasticity God has designed within our brains. Here are a few ways to put these principles into practice.

Thanks for sharing this Maurice.
Now I do not have to feel like Im alone in this.
 
Too bad no one told him, but that is actually called Panic disorder, I have it too, By reacting to its symptoms as if they were danger, we reinforce that pattern, when in actuality they are nothing more than discomfort.

Also its agoraphobia, which is the fear of having panic attacks or anxiety attacks.

Not a disorder. Its a body.s axis imbalance

Whatever doesnt change the problem, Nofap wont fix that, its only through exposure and using the correct response learning a new pattern

Well you cannot say nofap wont fix that, when PMO causes axienty and depression nofap will solve that, it is withdrawals. You cannot stay whole life with withdrawals, u must understand and be optimistic. Nofap works with other things you do. Some days axienty is totally gone without me doing anything ok. But when i get flatline it comes back
