anxiety, panic attacks and dream like states.

[moldypeach]

hello all, i’m new here. i guess amidst everything going on, life around me is starting to feel especially surreal. i haven’t been able to sleep much due to inexplicable panic attacks and anxiety. my heart pounds out of my chest and it feels like i’m suffocating. i can’t pin point a specific problem making me feel this way... it just sorta happens out of nowhere. would love to hear others methods on coping with similar struggles.

I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling this way. I, too, am having problems sleeping. I am sleeping more per night, yet it's the waking up every hour worrying about this or that, or him or her. It is exhausting. I had to take email and news off of my phone. I had to request that people not forward to me articles (of any kind). I'm using a routine: exercise; meditation; yoga; reading; good food; writing on here; working when I have projects; trying to support friends and family from afar; and big pharma (sometimes i've had to pull out what I call the "big guns" to finally get a few hours of sleep at a time, which I will likely do tomorrow before my body shuts down which it did a few weeks ago and it was ugly). I hope you find some things that help you through the days...I wish you some peace and solace today.

I'm dealing with this also. has been really bad for over a month. I'm hoping new medication will help. get online with a therapist or physctriatist or doctor before it gets to much more worse
