I attempted to listen to a guided meditation to help me fall asleep, I just could not breathe as I was being directed to do. I panicked jumped out of bed and started to cry really hard. I use my watch to check my heart rate and my stress level, why would by stress level measure in the normal range but I am still feeling afraid. I don't seem to have the symptoms that everyone on here seems to have. I can only describe the feeling as weird. Could it be that I might have something other than anxiety and depression? I often feel like I am going to have a nervous breakdown although I have never had one.

Hi troublesleeping. Was this the first time you tried meditation?
It is a method of learned behavior. It must be practiced each and
every day, sometimes several times a day in order for your mind and
body to adjust to feeling calmer as well as deep breathing properly.
Even though your app may show that you are calm, it is not giving
you the full picture of the over sensitized nervous system on high alert.
Falling asleep cannot be forced. We must give up our control and let
our body take over. It will happen when our mind is ready to let go.
There are many ways you can prepare yourself for a restorative night's
sleep. Don't give up. xx
