Hi, it's because of anxiety. I understand your concern. You should go for therapy along with medications for effective treatment. Psychologist will psychoeducate you about psychiatric medications and psychotherapy. Write down your thoughts that are causing anxiety. Do some deep breathing exercises and mindfulness exercise. When you are having panic attack take a deep breath and relax. Then connect with your senses. Begin to notice what you can see hear smell touch and taste in your surroundings. The idea is to reconnect with the immediate world and everything around you. When you begin to notice you spend less time in your head. For further assistance book a session with us or other mental health professional.

Hi lybrate-user, medication is to support you to live a normal life. You also need to work on yourself to gear up with the life incidents. Completely understand about your fear and anxiety. Few tips to help yourself: (1) develop self confidence and believe in your abilities (2) develop a hobby and spend some good time (3) identify your anxiety patterns or panic attack incidents.
