Hi agencypanic
try not to panic hun :-) I have felt the way you do here. Try to realize your self-worth and go for it! Dance like no one is watching and smile with your biggest smile:-) It's hard to feel paranoid. Try realizing that you have the power

I try warm baths, jacuzzi, meditation, visualization, hugging my puppy.
Can you call your doc to explain what you are feeling?
Feel better:-)
