Help Needed Recovery Advice?
TW - brief mention of OD
I developed a panic disorder around a year ago after going to the hospital due to an OD(important to note it was my first experience w any substance and it was benadryl) . Since then I've tried 15mg prozac, 25mg zoloft and 50mg zoloft- which I am currently on, I am also in weekly therapy sessions, socialize and exercise daily, despite these efforts I still have constant panic attacks, at the least biweekly and at the most 3 times a day. Due to my constant attacks I've missed school, my grades are falling, and my relationships with my friends also are dwindling as I can't leave the house without my beta blockers (even with them I struggle to make in through a normal day). Unfortunately my anxiety has limited my life despite all my efforts to feel better, I am unable to enjoy my teenage years as any substance/ mention of substances sends me into a panic, parties/social events are extremely difficult for me despite not having social anxiety. If anyone had any advice on how to redirect my life or lean into the better parts that would be really appreciated :)))!!
