have a panic disorder and since I have started college it has gotten steadily worse. I'm a junior and at this point I amafraid to go to class on Tuesday and Thursday. I don't know why I had one negative feeling in that class and I now I get scared every time I think about going.I just want to end it all at this point. I see people who are happy and go thereand I am scared just thinking about leaving my front door. I started medicine at the beginning of the semester that just made me want to sleep. I would sleep all day and lost all emotion or feeling for anything. I ended up alienating myself from my friends because I no longer felt emotional toward anybody. I ended it cold turkey so I could focus and wake up but now my symptoms are worse than ever. I just am afraid of people now. I get scared at the thought of being surrounded by them. A few months ago I loved people and hated being alone. I had to withdraw from 2 of my classes and now taking only 10 hours. Yet I am still too scared to even check my email because I know it will just be bad news and I don't think I can handle that. I used to bypass that by going directly to my professors rather than emailing them but now I'm too afraid to leave. I had friends who would help but now they eye me suspiciously like I'm crazy. Now I have become a recluse please what do I do?!

I am an inventor attempting to come up with a device that is able to notify panic disorder individuals up to an hour before panic attack onset, using studied and proven physiological changes that occur in the body before the "spontaneous" panic attack occurs. I am attempting to gather thoughts from other panic disorder individuals. What do you think about this possibility? Look forward to hearing from you :)
