I’m starting to have severe anxiety attacks, mostly at night or in the morning when I know I need to go to work and need to try and function or speak to people. I keep involuntary shaking. My voice is cracking and I keep crying throughout the day. I haven’t been able to leave the house and the thought of going outside is so daunting. 
I’m awaiting medication from my doctor to help me sleep and for the anxiety. The thought of telling other people about the breakup is also making me really anxious, not because of what they’ll think, just having to relive saying it over and over again.
Can anyone tell me how they control the thoughts that bring on their anxiety?
