I think I can sleep this off and I'll wake up feeling my old self again. But never happens.

I was just like you a month or so ago. The problem with anxiety is that it is self perpetuating, if you let it rule your life, it gets worse.
I think my anxiety started because I was getting heart palpitations, they would wake me up and I thought I was going to die.
It has taken me 6 months to get on top of the anxiety. Once I realised I wasn't going to die and collapse in public, it slowly helped me to push myself. The more I go out and prove to myself I am ok, the easier it becomes.
I also found that accepting it was menopause helped because the alternatives are not nice.
So it's taken me 6 months to get back to somewhere near my former self. I still have the palpitations but I treat it like a migraine, not nice at the time but it will pass.

I can relate to this. All the other symptoms I can deal with, it's the heart palps that started the anxiety for me. I never dealt with anxiety. It's been 8 months now and I am slowly getting back out there one day at a time. Like yourself, now that I have accepted it's hormones and I that nothing bad is going to happen to me, it helps me to deal with it better.
