Hi, im not sure if you are the right person to ask but i didnt know what category to put this under and i really had to ask somebody about it. My girlfriend has these "panic attack" type things where she freaks out and thinks that she may not exist. Its not exactly a panic attack but she starts crying and freaking out needing reassurance and getting really upset. It only happens at night when she is laying in bed and she loses sleep over it, it has been happening more frequently lately. What could be the reasons behind this and is there any way i can help? She is 15 years old, if that is relevant.
