I need your help. I will try to make it short.

I recently switched Units in October 2014. I went from not doing much all day to a stress filled position, barely having time to eat lunch and mentally DRAINED at the end of the day.
I rush to the babysitters in the morning because she's strict on arrival time (which stresses me out)
I amped up my workouts Lifting and cardio 5-6 days a week, I also teach class twice a week at a Gym.
I have a two year old son who gets sick often in the winter so I may get 3-4 hours of sleep.
I help my mother every other weekend but its an outlet for me.

Recently while working out I became extremely light headed like I was going to pass out for a week (it was not over exertion, I was a track athlete for 15 years, so I know what over exertion feel like). I then had (unbeknownst to me at the time) a Panic attack. I've spiraled down hill since then, I have severe anxiety driving, cant sleep well, random panic attacks.

I've had ALL test ran, from cardiologist, neurologist, etc. So I have a clean bill of health.

I recently went to see a health wellness Doctor and he diagnosed me with Adrenal fatigue. I was getting better. However, this week was my first week back to work, BUT I've been eating, and they have made sure to lighten my work load. The last two days I feel like I've digressed.

*I haven't been able to cross the street without feeling anxiety I cant go into stores without panic. I constantly worrying about "why I am not getting better" because I'm eliminating my stressors, meditating, etc. Ive always had somewhat of a clean diet, but now im on a strict diet, almost vegan but I can eat organic meats, etc. Little fruit. I take this adrenal supplement (magnesium in it) I feel FANTASTIC at home, but I feel like anxiety/panic has taken over my life outside of home. I feel like I can no longer function. Im 32 years old, and in great shape. My husband has been supportive, but he cant understand what im going through. I wake up every night at 3/4am. So I am CONSTANTLY frustrated. I feel like im doing all of the right things, but have DEVELOPED severe anxiety. I've tried breathing techniques, positive thinking, while it happens but it doesn't work. I have NEVER in my life dealt with these issues. I feel like im trapped in someone else's body and can get out, like I've gone Mental in a span of 4 weeks!

Sorry for the long novel, but just wanted to know your thoughts. Have you been through this? How long will this take? I just want to be normal again. Please help.
