Hi everyone so and out 5 days ago had been rushed to the hospital.My heart was literally beating out of my chest to the point I could barely stand. My heart rate was at 220 BPM and theyou had to restart my hart with a shot. I'm a 26 year old male who heavily smoked and drinked since I was 18 and I regret every bit of it.. I figured self medicating was the best thing that worked for my panic attacks and depression. But i was obviously wrong and didn't know any better.. since I was in the hospital 5 days ago I can't sleep at night. I have painic attacks right before I feel tierd and I can't sleep.. I'm lucky if I get 4 hours sleep and I'm exhausted. What I wanna know is did my episode create me to have more of an anxiety disorder then I already have.. I've also cut back on smoking alot and stopped drinking all together.

You're still wired from it try and be positive and relax. Look, I drank heavily for about 12 years, smoked for 27, smoked weed everyday for 12 years and have taken every drug apart from heroin and had bad reactions to some drugs that landed me in hospital, not mental reactions but physical.
