If you don’t want to go to an in person therapy session right now there are lots of workbooks available at a local bookstore or that you could order online. I might push ever so gently on the last thing you said, if an hour long therapy session every week or two could make you happier, what’s so bad about going to it for the next 50 years? I hope you find relief from your panic attacks soon, they can be scary, and miserable.

I am constantly moving, if I work I stand with my laptop on some boxes, if I don't stand, I move. Either dancing, exercising on a mat, I even jogged a few times, though I am not a fan, or I just walk around. Generally, these past few weeks, if I'm not on my feet, I sleep and I don't do much of that, either. It seems to be ebbing off a bit though. I could sit today for longer than 1h and I actually took a 3h long nap
On the other hand, I haven't slept since.
Honestly, I guess have some trust issues with psychiatry and such. You are right though, of course this is not sustainable. I do have an appointment with a general practitioner next week and if he sends me to a therapist than so be it. It's worth a try. Not sure I would accept taking any drugs though.
Thanks much for your kind reply
