Hi
Hope you are feeling a little better today. Anxiety is so tough on us, and that crushed chest feeling just makes it worse.
Take whatever help and support you can find for the really bad days, free chat rooms, phone lines, groups locally if that is an option at times.
Writing, any form of light exercise you can do, (at home if your not feeling up to going out) will all help. Screaming into a Pillow or thick Towel can help, (when you think of all the things or people that piss you off), driving and listening to loud music, or music in general. Housework sometimes helps. Losing yourself in a good Movie or Book, or Website.
I hope that my Reply has been helpful in some way, and that you get the support you need. I found something lately somewhere that read "Treat your Emotions like Visitors which are just passing through' and it made so much sense to me, wish I had known all this stuff years ago when I really needed it the most.
