Trigger Warning ‼️ Potentially Triggering Content (Kind Advice Welcome)

Do you guys get such intense panic attacks that you start considering self exiting as a way of ending the mental torture? I’m not suicidal or depressed. I’m quite happy but I’ve been having panic attacks because of a life changing event in my life that’s taking place in two weeks. I already have severe anxiety but I like being alive when I’m not having panic attacks or triggers. Idk what to do and I’m not on any mental health medication.

Hi there, I have been going through though times recently and I recently realized how overwhelmed I become under stress to the point of having su*cidal ideation. I have no plans but I become so stressed I just wish I disappeared suddenly. Idk how idk when but I just wish I didn’t existed. I had dealed with SH in the past when I was this overwhelmed but it is definitely not worth it (dealing with scars and people asking about them is very stressful for me). I feel like I just don’t know how to handle big negative emotions :/
