    Hi you obviously are under a lot of stress and as a medical student with three years under your belt you probably should know that panic/anxiety disorders are pretty common and very scary, seems that no matter what your told you have to go through it and except it for what it is, have you considered yoga as a relaxation tool and a good diet, exercise is also an excellent way to control it.

    Once you except the fact that your symptoms are "normal" with this you will start to improve, the sleeping and wanting to stay in bed are also a common symptom.

    Force yourself to become more active, I know it's not easy but if you want to not sink further into it be proactive and you will come out the other side
