Panic attacks daily out of nowhere
hi all. i (f20) have recently had my anxiety go from 0 to 100. i won’t lie, it all started recently about 2-3 months ago when i smoked to much weed and had my first panic attack at the heart doctor lol. i quit immediately- caffeine as well. but ever since- i can’t drive anymore, can’t eat too much, can’t do things for too long, i can’t even be alone because im terrified of the next panic attack. ive grown up with bpd & ptsd and only ever experienced panic during things like intimacy iykwim. i used to love driving all over (4+ hours just to see friends) but i can’t even make it 5 minutes down the road anymore without having to call someone to get me. antidepressants wont work bc ive failed out of at least 20 medications across my life. i guess what im asking is how do you cope? how do you live life? i live in a rural town. i have to drive. i’m unemployed right now because of how terrifying everything is. did beta blockers help anyone- should i seek that out? get bloodwork done? i’ve had dissociation issues from anxiety but the panic attacks almost daily now are making me feel like i need to be locked away. i guess im searching for help & if anyone else got them “randomly” rather than having a lifelong struggle. thank u in advance if u read this far
