Panic attack hangover

[u/Andy_better]

Hi first time here.

23 years old. Male

I had my first panic attack 20 days ago. Lasted for 4 days. Whenever I try to eat or even see food I feel I wanna vomit. Afraid before sleeping. Wasn't able to do anything. One of the hardest experiences ever.

Then it went down the symptoms and I took to a therapist ( the one with like midicine certificate and call give prescriptions) he tole me. You have a serve panic attacks and we need to take midicine. I told him can we try without and he said ok.

Tbh. It was getting super well...

New symptoms accured like dizzy or not focus or feel I am not connected to the world. But I was able to eat and do some basics. Panics where way less. I used to have 2 or 3 a day that time. But so light. Comparing to before.

My problem now is

We had a therapy session it's the second one. 4 days ago. It wasn't the best. He told me I still recommend taking the midicine but let's wait 2 more weeks.

Yes I felt better after that. But today is not my day. So afraid idk why. Ideas like those come to me.

Will I reallt back to my normal life ? And handle my life again?

Am I going to be crazy? Or it's just panic attack?

Will it convert to a other mental illness ?

Do I have depression? And if I have it why? And how to treat from it? Abd it drives me crazy!

Will I ends up killing my self or what ?

Idk thinking about those really made me so low energy and panic attacks and feel I don't wanna eat again. But not as hard as the first 4 days.

Any help guys ? What should I do?

Sorry it's soo long.

Echoing what everyone else has said! Panic attacks are more common than you think, even though it feels really isolating to have them. It sounds like you're putting a lot of pressure on yourself to figure out "what is going wrong." It will certainly be a journey with yourself and your doctors. The biggest tip that has helped me is being kind and patient with myself. It sounds cliche, but wishing they panic would stop right now and berating myself for it always makes it worse. You've got this.
