FWIW, I was raised by loving parents and don't have any big unresolved issues I'm hiding from, just the usual relationship regrets and stuff that everyone has.

Twelve,
I also have severe insomnia and panic attacks. I was self-medicating (sorry if I repeated myself lol). I see a psychiatrist now for my insomnia and panic attacks.
I was also raised by loving parents. However, my parents still have their issues like everyone does.
