Anxiety leading to panic attacks???

[Tomtom01]

I've started getting anxiety every day, I wake up dizzy and end my days in a panic... I drink tea and do all the breathing exercises but nothing seems to work. Does anyone else have the same issue. This has been going on for about 2 months now and I've had to quit my job. Please help!!

I feel the same - I wake up and start worrying and go to bed worried and anxious - finding something to occupy myself sometimes work - esp talking to someone else I seem to relax a little x

Breathing exercises are a tool, but not the cure.  CBT teaches you how to alter the way you think about things, when it works.  It's more complicated than just temporary relaxation exercises, though they help.

i used to go to work and find a room to cry in. I had to go on meds for anxiety and it helped. But I've been off them for 2 years and it's back right now,  I was told to expel air from my lungs as hard as I could and then take a couple of regular breaths. You should be able to get a good deep breath after that.
