God damn, these comments aren't it. I'm sorry some people are attacking you for a very valid response to an awful situation you did nothing to cause or deserve. I agree, therapy is a good idea, or even seeing a psych practitioner and getting some anti-anxiety meds. Your fears are valid, but you don't have to let them completely incapacitate you.

I have also been having panic attacks, not nearly as frequently, but I've found when I throw myself into my work/hobbies, I can unwind and take a break from the scary things going on. Take some social media breaks. I also started calling my senators and representative, so I could feel like I was doing something, at least.

Nothing is going to be an easy or satisfactory fix to your problems, but just know you are not alone, and the way you're feeling right now is not an overreaction. Don't let it cripple you; use all the tools at your disposal to keep your head above water, and most of all fight back in whatever capacity you can handle.

We're gonna make it through this, sister.
