Admitting that you have severe anxiety is acknowledging that you may need help. The next step is to seek professional guidance from trained individuals who can teach you how to control your ailment. In the mean time, if you can't quit altogether, maybe indulge in less aggressive/violent games?
Seconding this.
You know I used to be an adventurer too...until I took an arrow to the knee.
Maybe Skyrim isn't the game for you....
Doubt it was so much the circumstances of the game but rather the fact that you probably had been playing skyrim for hours and your brain just had enough. It's like that with me and driving. If I'm on the road too long, I feel like my thoughts are imprisoned by the task at hand because I can't just pull over and think about something else and I end up having a panic attack. You've got to keep yourself distracted. Don't do too much of one thing. I feel like everyone on the planet strikes a special balance between awake and daydream. When I feel most normal my imagination runs wild, and when I am most uneasy I can't summon a daydream to save my life. A panic attack feels like holding a microphone up to a speaker. It's just this amplifying feedback and after it reaches an unbearable level somebody will pull the plug to the speaker. My panic attacks typically ramp up like that, until they get to the point where I scream or convulse, and then suddenly my brain decides to kill the rogue thought. Still leaves me shivering, but functioning.
^This 100 percent. Everything in moderation OP and if a game like Skyrim is doing this you need to take breaks. I had the same thing happen the first time I got a 1000+ bounty from accidentally poking the jarl with my sword and I had been playing for over 10 hours. I got so panicked I got sick. I play for only about an hour or two now and I haven't had a problem since. Give your brain a break once and a while and perhaps find coping mechanisms when you feel panic coming on.
Nice reference with your name, you N'wah. Kidding of course. High fives aplenty.
I Don't recommend playing online
sounds like really bad anxiety yeah, I'm sorry op. maybe its time to get some help?

It's all fun and games until they spot you stealing their swords!
I got caught stealing once, resisted arrest and got a "warrant" so every time I went to towns everyone attacked me. I eventually got so frustrated I never played again.
