Hello, I'm sorry to hear you're going through a difficult time. Panic attacks are definitely not fun and are very scary. When I experienced my first attack I thought i was dying and had my best friend call an ambulance. Difficulty sleeping is very common, for me, at least, even when I do not feel overly anxious. I think it would be in your best interest to see a therapist. I feel like everyone can gain from therapy, even of they do not have depression/anxiety/etc. My thoughts are with you! If you need a safe space to vent or talk, my dms are always open!
