I have experianced something similar, just not to that extent. I tend to precieve things as being worse then they are, as people trying to hurt me emotional or being rude/mean/ignoring me etc when they are not. I overreact to situations that should not be stressful, like seeing my boyfriend (before we broke up), spending the night at people houses. (Can you tell I have a lot of social anxiety lol)
I try to step back and look at things logically. I like to make lists, if I'm overwhelmed with work/school I make a list by what is most important/due first. I find writing can help me see more clearly. A second opinion from another person is always helpful. I have one friend I go to when I think I cam over reacting and I ask her how she would feel in my situation.
I don't have any advice on relieving the anxeity other then a distraction. Although the break away from the trigger can do wonders for me.
