Extreme anxiety due to toy ball

Hi everyone, I need some insight or help with a problematic behavior. I have a 3y female lhasa apso, overall she's a very well behaved dog, she tends to bark a lot sometimes but she's a lhasa so not much to do there. The problem is, she really love to play with balls, but not in a healthy way, she keeps pushing the ball under furniture where she cannot reach and then starts crying, screaming, licking her paws and diging the floor like crazy. If I take the ball and return it to her is like I'm giving her a drug or something. I avoid giving her balls but she seems sad without it, she doesn't play with the other toys, she is not a dog that likes to play in the yard, so she just lays by the window. Today I took away the last ball and she keeps searching for it desperately, following me and my husband crying, but we don't feel like giving it back is a good thing, when she's without the ball for a while she is calm, doesn't lick her paws etc, but seems very bored and with the ball she gets crazy… I'd love to hear some advice, thank you.
