go to your doctor and explain your panic attacks, they’ll give you a questionnaire to determine your anxiety levels and go from there

Genuinely think I’m dying and/or immobilized by panicked sobbing for at least 4 hours, ~2 times a week

oh i mean express how you feel in the moment. i think putting the emphasis more on how bad the experience is will help you get the medication you need rather than come off as someone who wants more pills
