MH, I suffer from anxiety so I feel your pain. I used to take clonazepam periodically if it became really bad but I can't given my pregnancy and it's very difficult.
My escape is Facebook, I could sit for hours on end and procrastinate and I feel awful after. Recently I left Facebook for a few months and life was more productive. It forced me to have to face the day head on.
I think making a cold break from your escape and doing your best to keep busy is the way to go.
All the best, I know how awful it is.
