I'm in my Sophomore year adjusting back into college, I have situational anxiety disorder and it causes me to be depressed and have severe panic attacks mostly with insomnia. This came on suddenly a few years ago, and now it happens when I have to live in a place for a long time that is not home. I had it freshman year of college and I got over it, now I don't understand why it seems almost worse in sophomore year because I have to skip a class to go to a therapy session (same therapist from last year, didn't help too much) and I had to skip my part time job because I wanted to just get out of the dorm. I don't understand why I'm so anxious and panicked constantly, I know it's mostly because I'm scared of not sleeping here, which I really haven't been, even heavily medicating myself has not really helped at all. As soon as I hit the pillow I feel fear and panic and racing thoughts. Why is is so bad this year? I've tried self help things and I'm too stubborn to listen to them. What's wrong with me? I also have no appetite and no motivation to move from my bed, sitting in worry. I don't know what to do. I guess it will eventually go away, but it's a very painful and scary experience, all I want to do is nap but as soon as I lay my head down, I become panicked.
