Hello! I hope you are hanging in there. You didn't say what ails you, but if you're anything like me it's depression and anxiety. I hope you make lots of contacts and feel comfortable here. It's a very welcoming place.

hi Im a graduate student and I have been under a lot of stress not just academics but personal issues as well , and I have a habit of suppressing emotions , ignoring them finding other mechanisms to avoid them . I also suffer from anxiety attacks, they usually happen at midnight every now and then , I havent seen a professional yet but now things seem to be building up . And today it hit be me hard . I have been going through these phases on and off trying to convince myself to suck things up , pretend im ok but Its really affecting me . I go through phases where i am extremely social like intense then i crash and become so overwhelmed that I completely remove myself from people and delete all my social apps . I have no interest in getting any of my work done i feel a bit numb. I dont know how to cope or deal with this .

Is it possible your panicking at night before bed because of the morning?

Hi , sorry what do you mean ?

[Hidden in reply to ZAR4]

So you say you panicked mostly at night?,so maybe its on back of your mind after you goto sleep you wake and do same type of day over and your dreading it and panicked.you should really goto your doctor and allow yourself to be helped and not suffer.

I know how you feel and have some of the same symptoms. It's easy for me to doze on the couch and listen to classical music. I hope you can get some professional help soon. I know it's helped me.

Welcome! My anxiety started getting so bad i would always go to my mom and cry and ask her to hold me and tell me that everything will be okay. Have you decided on taking any medication ?
