hi,
I'm sorry you're feeling so bad. I wish I could help with words...at least I can commiserate with you. I've felt before like you felt now, and it got better. I hope it gets better for you, too.I think college can be one of the most anxiety-producing times in a person's life! That's when my issues started, too.
For what it's worth, you look cute and well-put-together and "normal" (although that's a scary word, isn't it??) in the pictures. You look like a guy who's having fun with life. I hope that's the case at least some of the time!
I wish I had real advice. I guess my advice would be to talk to your doctor and see if you need to try a different med combo. Make sure that you study well ahead of time, and use tutors if you need to, so that the work doesn't get ahead of you and make the panic attacks worse. Exercise regularly and avoid excessive caffeine and alcohol because those help trigger panic (at least in me!) Of course, you might already be doing all that, so forgive me if I'm stating the obvious (sometimes I tend to do that!)
I hope you feel better. take care!
