Anxiety can be dealt with. The key is not to sit and handle it by yourself. Go find a counselor. They can teach you techniques on how to handle stress better. I have battled anxiety and now my biggest weapon against it is knowing when it's anxiety. And knowing what makes it worse and what can help. If caught early you can sometimes skip medication. If not you can simply take the medications for a short while just to help with the feelings it brings while getting counseling, then as you learn to cope better, start coming off the medications.
I experienced a lot of anxiety in the past and the best way out of that place is to face your worries head on and break it at the root. Don't allow anxiety to trap you and hold you back from your true potential. Doing otherwise, we will just fall further and further down into that worrisome way of thinking. Remember God does not give us the spirit of fear and therefore we know that anxiety is not of God. God has a wonderful plan for your life and God didn't create us to be alone or miserable so if we trust in that it is guaranteed to be a victory. God bless.

Depends on the severity of the anxiety. When mine was at it's worst i still went to work. But work was actually a help for me as i was living out of my car at the time, so getting off work made me have anxiety attacks.
But a friend of mine had such bad anxiety she didn't work for 2 years. She had other issues that fed her anxiety, though, so i'm doubtful you will be that bad.
I'm not sure of the availability of things like this over there, but if possible try looking in stores that sell vitamins and natural products, health food stores. Look for Gaba and Kava Kava. Both are natural supplements known to aid in reducing anxiety. It might be enough to help you get through the week till your appointment. They aren't as potent as pharmaceuticals but should help still.
Glad you were quick to set up the appointment. It gives you a real chance to get past this quicker. Just keep in mind, once you have anxiety, you can be prone to it the rest of your life. So learning to cope with stress and also learning to recognize anxiety will go a long way in helping you minimize it in the future.

Before taking any serious meds, i'll definitely try with vitamins and natural things.
I'm not against med, but takings meds makes me feel like i've failed.
I feel alone because not everyone can understand this kind of pain considering the fact is not something physical.
I had something like this in 2009 and i overcome it very well, i'm so angry that is back again.I want to know why, what i did wrong.
