4am anxiety

[ukpete]

Hi all, I haven’t been on here for a while, although I do read the posts almost every day, I was suffering with anxiety and couldn’t sleep about 2 weeks ago, I went to see my GP and he gave me some meds that actually worked, I’m doing really good at the minute well until now, I’ve just woken up with the worst anxiety attack, heart racing ect, so I’m just writing this to distract my mind till it fades away, well I’m up for work at 7am so not long to go, oh the joys

I’m still a bit anxious, definitely can’t sleep when I’m like this, writing actually does help me personally it distracts my mind, got a busy day at work today, I have had a few hours sleep so I should be ok

Youre my role model. I didn’t think it was possible to work with anxiety. Especially if you don’t sleep well. It really is scary to sleep when it happens. Do you have any tricks ? Are you superhuman bc to me you really are a hero. The thought of it almost seems impossible to me bc i can’t even walk anywhere when I’m anxious .

thank you for your kind words, I am not sure I’m a hero but I’m happy you not only understand the anxiety and hope you feel better when you see others sharing there feelings, I know I do, Today I had to attend a first aid course and believe me I didn’t want to be there, I seem to smile, look happy ect but inside I hate feeling like this. I seem to go weeks maybe months without any problems but then it comes back, I feel nobody understands. Please keep in touch, maybe we can help each other
