Losing your job ( suddenly or otherwise) is a stress inducing reality..feeling anxious regarding the future is a normal response but if it has started causing functional imapirment( as in your case) then the anxiety becomes pathological..the first step would be acceptance of your current reality and the next would be setting realistic goals for the future..you could use some help in the form of counselling along with some low dose medication for a short period to help you with an all- round recovery..

Joblessness causes anxiety about future, career, security, money etc which intern causes depression, sleeplessness, loss of appetite, tension, anxiety etc.
To overcome this u need yo be focus and determined. There is bad periods come to every human being to learn fight back to life ,to learn how to deal worse situations in life ,to handle extreme stress and tension in vulnerable periods.
U have to be confident on ur self and be positive about ur skills and knowledge.
Dark period must pass away and sunshine must come ,but u must have patience.
Best wishes....

Tremors, feeling anxious or nervous, sense of panic, sweating, increased heartbeat, feeling of impending doom, stomach discomfort, dizziness etc are signs of anxiety. These can be debilitating. If the anxiety is overwhelming, consult a Psychiatrist at the earliest. With the right medication and counseling, it is likely your symptoms will improve.
