And I really don't know what to do. I HAVE TO wear this damn thing or I can't sleep fa asleep, but putting the mask on now has recently starting triggering my panic symptoms pretty consistently.

I've been using a CPAP machine for about 8 years now and this hasn't been an issue until very recently. I'm not sure how to approach this new problem. It probably doesn't help either that I think my recent string of panic attacks has caused me to develope somniphobia too, so I'm pretty screwy right now.
