charmingcloud Hi there, what you’re going through sounds really terrible, respect+ for getting help, you’ll get through this! BTW taking lots of Panadol at once even when you think it manages anxiety attacks and doesn’t count as self harm can be deadly because it can cause liver and kidney failure. Have you considered taking an entire year off? It sounds like you can use an intermission/leave of absence, I can’t stress how good it is for mental health from my own experience (I took 2 myself)
Also, when I was dealing with some depression and anxiety myself, I found out that zinc seemed to really help with those. Anecdotally I was taking zinc to manage allergies during pollen season when I found out it somehow made those mental health problems go away as well. Of course I’m not a doctor and if your doctor prescribed something that can’t be taken with zinc then don’t take it
