Dealing with panic attacks...

@BBigford you only get a few decades to ride this mudball around the sun. On your deathbed, a missed exam or honors list whatever will be inconsequential. Live your life well and it will all work out right.

Make sure you are getting plenty of sleep (I know that seems like a daunting task itself). From what you've listed above, I would try to part time one of your full time things. Sounds like school is a real source of stress, maybe go part time on that.
Is your GF pulling her weight financially? I would love having someone to pay half my mortgage and bills. If she's not, that's a BIG stress causer.
There are many herbal remedies for stress, both legal and semi-legal. The semi-legal kind works much better, but some valerian root or kava kava will do wonders considering you can buy them at a health food store. Use the liquid extract in either case.
Exercise, in any form, can help as well. Work out w/ weights, take a jog or a swim, do yoga (good place to start),
The recipe for stress relief that works for me is: No gf, no kids, no school. Eat, drink, smoke, and f@ck what you want, repeat as needed. Life is for living, don't forget that....
I'll 2nd the exercise bit, nothing works for me like tiring myself out to the point that I drop into bed.
Other above mentioned things also work, but no where near as well (at least for me).

You might get a kick out of this scene from The Departed. It always makes me laugh for some reason. I think just because it's way over the top in regards to someone really stressed out:
-
@BBigford Ha! That scene brings up 2 thoughts: 1) F@ck western medicine and the American health care system, and 2) I hope he got to bang the doctor lady.

@BBigford My people! I mean, my ancestors were in the banking industry...

When I was much younger my Grandpa asked me a very simple question that may have completely changed the outcome of the person I would grow to be. He asked me what is more important-being right or being kind? This applies to how you treat yourself too. You may do things you aren't proud of or make mistakes but be kind to yourself. Your successes/failures don't define who you are they are just things you have done.

I drink a lot That's the real solution. If you are not drinking heavily, IT is likely not for you

The trouble with that is drinking when you don't have to IT the next day... (which for many of us, isn't often).

Live IT. Love IT.

I have a membership card to a local brewery.

...and I think I'll be venturing to that brewery later this afternoon. No studying will be completed this evening. Merely wind down, then go home and lay in the hammock in the back yard.

Why would that be a problem?

Wouldn't that just make drinking all the more fulfilling? Not having to do anything IT related the next day...

Drinking fixes the stress that ensues from having to do IT the next day. Drinking on weekends is just self indulgent.
