Freedom from the Frenzy

Lately, I spend my days with wave after wave of panic rolling through my body. I don't know why. I know I have to get a handle on it. The phone rings and I get that feeling in the pit of my stomach. I'm reading emails and it washes over me like a wave. I'm chatting online with someone I truly want to be talking to more than anyone else, and it strikes hard in my chest. I try to sleep at night and it consumes me. All I know for sure is the old feelings of being inadequate, undesirable, fearful and dependent are all back in full force - my confidence is shot. I know I need to rope in these feelings, but I feel so powerless right now.
