Intermittent anxiety, fear, nocturnal insomnia, due to stress for 7 days-does it require medical attention? whats my best option?

Talk: Your best option is just to go talk out your symptoms with someone. Put them out there & together sort out what feels most helpful. You can start with your regular provider, a support counselor, or a therapist. You are smart for reaching out--keep going. No harm is done if stress is temporary and much can be gained with skilled help. Sore arm, you would not pause-- sore mind, seek aid too.
