Much love to you.

Is there a park nearby where you could go for a walk? Maybe grab a hot chocolate or an ice cream, as a way to distract yourself for some moments until anxiety diminishes? I feel most anxious when I stay at home (I live alone). Going out helps, even if just for some groceries. But sometimes the hard part is going out.

I'm sorry to hear that, it sounds like we're both in the same boat. I've taken a ton of Benzos today so hopefully that will help a little bit.

There is a grounding technique where you pick out five things you can see, four things you can touch, three things you can hear, two things you can smell and one thing you can taste that may help you become more calm.

How about a listening phoneline from your own country?
Got that advice aswell from my therapist.

Also this seems to be a good one! I've heard from it before

I feel you. It's so unfair. I take benzos and zolpidem too. My anxiety and stress are increasing because of these fucking muscle spasms. You're definitively not alone struggling with all this shit. I know what it is when doctors cannot help. Have you considered a sleeping cure in a clinic ? I don't know where you live, but in France it does exist. While reading this, I see they give barbiturates. Sorry it's in french, but I guess you can translate it with google

No..I'm agoraphobic. I can't leave my house. I want to cbt...I can't do it in my house. I want to order SN, But How can I do it when I can't go anywhere?

I'm completely agoraphobic. Can't even dress myself. I take drugs and they wear off, and I have such bad withdrwals that I can't stand it! Can no longer eat or drink, until I have taken a benzo to relax my throat muscles...I do this at the same time every night so I can eat, and sleep for 2 hours! I need to CBT

I can't stop running in circles and screaming or madly typing on here long enough to watch a tv show unless I am drugged

I've experienced something similar and the only thing you can do is harm reduction and waiting it out

Make sure you're staying cool because it's easy for your body to overheat in this state. Drink some water and lay down or sit, maybe even stim a little by rocking back and forth or whatever (only if it helps, don't force it.)

Know that your body is in a temporary state of panic and you'll return to stability soon, don't fight your thoughts, let them pass through and just cry.

If it's getting really bad seek medical help tho.
