Night anxiety

[BossMom2019]

I get anxiety and depression through out the day, but at night is whenit seems worse... I’m just laying here putting my son to sleep and out of nowhere I get a thought “what if I have a heart attack in my sleep, there’s no way of stopping it” even though I had an EKG in September and I have a perfectly normal heart

I have the same feeling at night my anxiety gets worse for sum reason and yes I do have those thoughts and I did have an EKG and just like u said my heart is perfectly fine this anxiety is crazy

[BossMom2019 in reply to Jamescrider]

I just want to feel completely normal again

[Jamescrider in reply to BossMom2019]

Me to I'm constantly having heart palpitations as well which doesn't help me one bit

[BossMom2019 in reply to Jamescrider]

I don’t have those, just the thoughts and then depersonalization

[Jamescrider in reply to BossMom2019]

I have those too but recently my depersonalization kinda went away but it's still there

[BossMom2019 in reply to Jamescrider]

Are you and your son the only two people in the house? How old is your son? If he is older than 5, maybe you can teach him how to make phone calls to ask for help?

I had similar concerns when I take the kids out to play. I once had a chest pain and was out of breath when we were outside. My older kid was 8 at that time and he helped a lot.

My son is 8 months, we stay with my parents

oh so your son is really just a small baby. If you live with your parents and have extra people around the house then don't worry too much about the baby's well being. If you are worried for yourself, there are actually some "one button help" devices on the market that you can carry around with you for the peace of mind.
