It's as if I'm lost at sea without a life vest or anchor. Does this sound familiar to anyone? 

When I'm in an anxious episode, I lose my ability to think. The smallest decisions become huge; should I shower first or cook first? I overthink everything but not in a fruitful way. When I don't focus on e.g. breathwork or occupy my mind by writing it plays parts of songs on repeat or even parts of sentences. I get weird tics on the rhythm of those... I can't think my way out of this. Should I stay in and take time for myself or go out and distract myself? my mind can't think clearly so I have no idea... When I ask myself 'what do I want to do?' My mind goes blank. 

I want to lay in bed and sleep/cry
