I fought that for years. Reason I'm in the biz is that I couldn't work outside my house for a few years there. I'm doing a lot better now, but I still have moments.
Go to your doctor. If your doc won't help you, get another doctor. Seriously, I changed my primary physician before I got help. Huge pain in the ass and on the phone with insurance people, which triggered attacks! I'm taking Paxil 1x a day and I'm working on some other skills that help me cope.
Do some reading about Cognitive Behaviour Therapy. It really does help. I always get overwhelmed by all the possible things that could happen and what helps me is to tell myself it's nothing I haven't done before and then I say, "What if the worst thing I can imagine happens? And then what? And then what?" Eventually I see how crazy my thinking is and I relax. There are other exercises you can do that might work better for you. But the meds have helped a lot. Paxil is my friend.
