Anxiety

I am having crippling anxiety, most likely from withdrawals or PAWS. If anybody has any good relaxation techniques or tips on good ways to distract yourself, I would really appreciate it. I had a panic attack on the way to work this morning and simply turned around and went home, afraid my co-workers would think I was a lunatic or worst... figure out I am an addict. I wake up several times a night in a full on panic. When awake, I involuntarily take huge breaths like I am forgetting to breathe or something. I am also extremely emotional and constantly getting that impending doom feeling. Any of this sound normal? I'm more of a bingey drunk as opposed to a 24/7 one so I don't get why this is such an issue for me. Ugh, this is awful. Thanks, guys.
