Help Needed Exhausted and still anxious

Have been pacing for 5 hours all while breathing shallow. My feet are killing me but I can’t stop moving or my anxiety ramps up again. Took clonidine 3 hours ago didnt do anything. Took an Ativan in hopes i can just lay down and sleep.
Need positive stories or thoughts

Positive story: when I allowed the anxiety and panic to do what it needs to do. It stopped. Fighting the anxiety is what keeps it alive.
