Feeling panicky all the time when thinking about withdrawals

I am so anxious about possible withdrawal pangs that may happen at any moment throughout the day. I am living eith this anxiety and it's making me so restless and agitated and I am showing all signs of mild panic attack from time to time. Like shortness of breath , muscle tension, feeling my surroundings are foriegn or not related to me and sometimes feeling blind.. so this is a big priblem for me .. I can't focus on work but feels like this all the time .. even though there is no real threat i am obsessing about a percieved threat.. and out of anxiety I am lashing out at peoples as well.. it's like a phobia of things places and events that relates to my drug usage..

Is that current drug usage?

Not using now , but I feel mild panic attacks symptoms from time to time .it's not a full blown episode but it's always coming like waves .. I feel lonely , sad, and sometimes afraid that something dangerous is happening or going to happen. My system is in hypervigilant mode but my mind is not so alert ..
It feels like I am giving up some precisous thing in my life which is needed for my survival , but that's not true.. I still don't understand why I choose a lifetime of slavery and filth everytime when withdrawal pangs happen..

I have no real experience with coming off drugs. I do know that just something like nicotine, which I've only used sparingly over the years, sometimes really hits me and I miss that tobacco. When we're talking about something that was used as a way to get high, or escape one's life, or whatever you took drugs for, well, it's going to be rough, and it's not surprising that you'd feel anxious about not having that, yes? Not even including any fears of withdrawal.

I'm more the addictive behaviour kind of person, and I have found myself seriously addicted to things on the internet more than once. Chat rooms, Second Life, things like that. Second Life was particularly pernicious, because a virtual world for me is such a wonderful escape from reality, it almost might have been a drug. So even though I've never been a drug user, I can relate to an extent to really really really really did I say really? because I mean really crave something and think I need it, that if I don't have it I'll go crazy. And have the hardest time forcing it out of my life. But we gotta do what we gotta do.
