Taking your stress out on the in laws might seem like a good idea at the time but you may want to rethink it.  Oh, they cause it?  You ever see those blow up punching thingy's for kids? Buy two of them, name them Ma-inlaw and Pa-inlaw, and just wear them out! Great stress reliever and you're getting exercise to boot!  Actually, run a hot bath, lock the door, light some candles, and let your mind wonder. Does the body good.

I went on the paxill and i have to tell  you - it did help calm all the thoughts running through my head day and night and night and day and that helped with the anxiety.

I've had those all my life and never realized that they could go away.  Magic.  I swaer it was like magic.

The first month was sort of rough cause I was so tired from it but now...I don't notice a darn thing.  I don't ever want to go off them.

I'm sorry to hear you're struggling with anxiety.  I get a lot of relief from exercise when I'm strong enough to get any.  Swimming helps me the most (yeah, I know its freezing out but when you can) because I have more stamina for that even when the anemia is bad.  

Have you asked your doctor for ativan?  It works really well for me and I can take it as needed and get relief, unlike the antidepressants where you have to build theraputic levels for the drug to work.

Good luck - hope things get better for you (and me too).
