Constant anxiety

With a few panic attacks thrown in
i have emetaphobia, always have. I sort of had it under control for a few years(medication) but it’s back with a vengeance lately. One of my DC was sick yesterday. I dealt with it, but the anxiety since has been overwhelming. I’ve had panic attacks today, too. I just want to run away and scream. I feel sick but can’t work out if it’s because I’m actually ill, or if it’s me panicking. It’s such a vicious cycle.
i just want this to stop. I took a diazepam yesterday(first time ever) and it did help a bit. I’m reluctant to make a habit of that though and my GP has only given me 7
someone talk me down please. I’m a single mum and just want to hide away

I've found grounding exercise works (ish) for my panic. 3 things you can see, 3 things you can hear then move 3 body parts. Propranolol has helped with the physical symptoms.

My pictures under review. Google how to sit with feelings.
meditation might help? Some yoga and breathing?

Thanks for replying. I’ve been sat in bed watching tv since I posted this. Hate feeling like this. Will try those techniques
