#adrenal problems

I also have a bunch of other autoimmune issues / not to mention asthma too - so I'm really trying to be as careful as possible!

Obviously being back at uni is causing me an abundance of stress, but my body feels like it cannot handle it at all. I have v physical reactions, and also my mental health seems v off. Now, the only time I've ever had depression was due to a lack of steroids (trying to reduce and my dosage was way too low) and I'm wondering if because of the constant stress, I'm not getting the amount of steroids I actually need and that could be what's causing my whole body being a mess at the minute? I can't find anything online about just generalised stress and steroid intake - so this is the best place to come ask before I see my endocrinologist in a week or so.

Yesterday I was sitting on the couch, in the living room, with my family. On all accounts I felt secure and at ease with my surroundings. I started having chest pains, pressure in my head, shortness of breath, and a sense of impending doom. For a second I thought it was a heart attack, but I was having an anxiety attack. I was having one of the worst (physically) anxiety attacks of my life, and I was completely at ease about it (emotionally, if that makes sense, despite feeling outwardly anxious.. I’ve gotten used to some of this with POTS/tachycardia events). Evidently they can be a result of medical conditions such as mitral valve prolapse. They can also be brought on by stimulant medication. Like the vyvanse my doctor just prescribed. (Well, it seems obvious now..)
