I've found that one of the best ways to deal with an anxiety disorder is to get into a support group (live, not on-line) , and talk to other people with the same problem. It really normalizes the situation for you, and gives you some friends that can help you out. Check out any anxiety/depression clinic in your area.

Also, on the exercise thing, in moderation it is a great idea, but some people have a specific type of anxiety that is tripped off by lactose in the system. When you exercise too much, that soreness you feel in your muscles is lactic acid. In some people overdoing exercise can actually worsen anxiety.

Hope this helps.
