Worry about the same thing over and over again
Having nightmares about it
Thinking about it
Mind can’t communicate
Feel stress
Feel weird in the back of the head every time
Have panic attacks about it
This is happening to me. I know the internet is bad, but I’m desperate.
It is PTSD?

See a professional, and you can always give a panic attack workbook a try. Sounds like anxiety disorder (I have the same). These two workbooks really helped me turn it around:
thats anxiety. welcome to the world, where everyone has to deal with this eventually sometime.
sounds like a conversation for a professional, not strangers on the internet
I know, I don’t want to live like this my whole life, so I’m desperate for anything.
then get real help. youll find nothing of value here, except recommendations to get professional help
Can they help me? Do people who want help actually get it?
if people ask for it, yes. i’m replying, im helping the best way i know how, for an internet stranger.
this too shall pass
That aligns with my experience. But for medical advice you really should talk to your doctor
Here’s a free online assessment for Generalized Anxiety Disorder
Here’s another one for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
If those links don’t work for whatever reason, they’re offered online free from the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health
Filling out these forms does not constitute a diagnosis, but it gives you a starting point for talking to a doctor. Normally I advocate for people trying to self-guide their way through therapy when they can, but you really should talk to a doctor, especially if you’re having panic attacks - they’re a serious health concern.
I know it isn’t easy. The nightmares especially leave me feeling pretty fucked up. But I’m rooting for you
