Hello Phillipa.
I don't take any sort of medications and I've never seen any sort of professional for this. Although I do think the severity of my problem would more than qualify me for seeing one. Oftentimes at night, I feel extreme fear (mostly about dying and the afterlife) to the point where I feel almost completely disconnected from reality and completely consumed with fear. During the day it's less extreme, but a more constant and stable worry about things like the bees and the collider.

I'm honestly too scared to take any sort of medications. I'm afraid the medications will lower my state of conscious from reality and put me in a euphoric state where time will fly by and acceleration the rate at which I experience life. (Like I will consciously become a different person.)
But I believe I'm safe because my fear is that I'm afraid to die, so I would never hurt myself, and have never been in danger of doing so yet. I just get scared and cuddle up in a ball, too scared to do anything. But it's been getting better everyday since I join babble.
