So in recent months, I was diagnosed with a type of epilepsy that is purely brought on by sleep deprivation (also alcohol but not important for this question). Since then I've been medicated and more careful about getting enough sleep and I definitely have been fine like I don't have it that bad (2 seizures in my life). But with school starting I have all early classes and I've never been one to be anxious and always kind of thought those who were should just relax etc (Yes I didn't know shit), but a few times already this semester I have found myself starting to feel off, my HR shoots up and I get really nervous and just excuse myself from the room and go somewhere alone to just focus on calming down. 

I think this is mainly because I'm nervous about having a seizure in front of people in my morning classes... Though like I said I have it controlled very well and have been seizure-free. It's like even though I know this I psych myself out and start to freak out every time I feel off or my HR increases.... Thoughts? I'm debating talking to a professional but this is new to me. Those close to me just tell me to relax and don't seem to get it. It's constantly on my mind.

P.S. - Avid coffee drinker, thinking this might be making it worse and trying to quit but also I love it lol lemme know.
