I know exactly what you are talking about. I used to work with the council on it before. I got to manage those feelings from time to time. Sometimes I had been working my ass off so I was that exhausted to fall asleep immediately.
The panic attacks are caused by the stress. A lot stress at once. In my case it was studis, work, friendship, dozens of family issues, loneliness. I had the panic attack at the beginning of the week. Then, I could not fall asleep for a couple of days. I felt this ‘extra’ energy in my arms & legs. This energy did not let me fall asleep or even stay in bed. So, in the morning I went to work… My body wasn’t tired, but my mind was completely exhausted. So, I ended up crying all the time and reacting weird to all of the people around. I do not want any help at that point. I know everything what the council would say. It’s bullshit. Anti-anxiety pills are making it worse, trust me. I have no clue how to help you. You should be just strong enough to get through this. But believe me, that is the feeling that will never leave you throughout the whole life.
