Hi, I sometimes have the same problem with caffeine as I've had panic attacks for 11 years and it can feel awful, especially when I'm nervous.
Try and grab a bite to eat first, even just a slice of toast, so you'll have some energy later on in the day. Don't bother having any booze, it'll only make things worse! (leave it for later! :D)
I usually try and distract myself when I'm feeling bad. TV is good - something calming if possible. If you have something that can distract your hands too it's even better. I often play on my Nintendo DS and do sodoku puzzles as they're calming and help me focus. Washing dishes is another good one to try as it focuses your energy and keeps your hands busy. The warm water can be calming too.
You could try sorting through the papers you need for your appointment, put them in order and then put them in a safe place.
Remember to breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth. Slow deep breaths. This helps slow your heart rate and eases feelings of panic.
When you're feeling a bit more collected go get dressed and then sit and make a short list of important points you need to remember for your appointment. Keep the list in your pocket/bag. You don't have to use it but if you do need to you'll have it handy.
Finally remember that the solicitor you're going to see is only human. They get nervous too! When you get there, explain you're a little nervous. Ask questions if you don't understand something. They are providing a service for you and it's their job to help people understand and feel at ease whilst they do so.
Good luck. Try not to stress too much.

Don't have any more coffee ffs!!
Jump up and down on the spot or have a dance or something. Get rid of some of that energy. Or you could sit there grinding your teeth and biting your nails. I know! Help me look for my earring. I think the dog might have eaten itHealth Question & Answer

Just relax, focus on anything else other than the appointment. Just go concentrating on other stuff.
Breath and just be.
Think of people going though really bad things, much worse than you, it will gives you perspective.

Just take some deep breaths and maybe put on some soothing music. I think watching the tv is a good idea, it will distract you. Good LuckHealth Question & Answer
take a shower... take a nap... take a st. johns wart pill (its herbal supplement, they work for calming yourself and putting you in a better mood) i've considered (in these times with crime and all) to write a will and i'm only 22... sad isnt it.? but just relax and realize what you are writing is only benefiting your loved ones and will assure that anything you've earned in your life will be that benefit to them (and not anyone in an estate sale, blah), as well as sentimental items as well... it would be best to give a reason why each member is to get what they're getting with a personal message from you. not just because they liked it. my grandfather left me nothing in his will because i asked him not to and he respected my wishes but my immediate family and extended all got something. my reason was to make sure he knew i wasn't interested in what he had to give me but just that i wanted him to know i would always care about him and i didn't need anything but our memories together to feel that.
good luck with your appt. this morning, but whatever you do, don't drink. the caffeine will not go away it'll make you a wired drunk and you don't want that... your nerves won't let you come down even with alcohol if you are really as bad as you say you are...
have a great day
oh by the way, i told my grandmother (his husband) that i want her house when she goes... my uncle (55 yrs old) still lives with her and his 2 sons too and they are ruining the house. so i want to kick them out on the street because they're destroying everything my Pappap built.Health Question & Answer
