I've always struggled with anxiety and panic attacks and now it has gotten so bad I can barely go to school. (Like only one day of the week I go) now I'm probably gonna get meds for it, but I'm really scared of getting seriously addicted or simply, because substance abuse is something that run in my family for literal generations. I don't know what im soposed to do because I know it would help me but I'm also scared of the side effects, like possible getting addicted or my suicidal thought getting worse.
