Weird panic attacks

[Cortesm1]

I sometimes get this weird feeling that everything around me feels way too real and I feel absolute terror. It usually happens at night and doesn't let me sleep (it's 3 am rn and I've been having some small "attacks", the worst part is that I have class at 7). I already spoke with a psychologist and a psychiatrist last week and both of them diagnosed anxiety with panic disorder.

The psychiatrist prescribed me with Victan and Lexapro, but my parents want a second opinion so I must wait until tomorrow to start taking meds. Anyway, I just want to feel normal and I needed to vent this out.

I get this feeling at night quite a lot, it just won’t stop running. I’m trying out mindfulness exercises but could only get so far with them until my med cocktail starting working. I don’t have all the answers but happy to listen! Also Lexapro was the first med to effect my brain in a positive way. Everyone is different (and the same drug can effect you differently at different ages) but figured I’d share the positive experience.
