Waking up with nausea, anguish, fear for no reason, nervousness, are some of the symptoms I have to go through day by day. The panic attacks have become more symptomatic, I have taken psychological therapy, I exercise daily, I try to do sleep hygiene, I read a lot about self-help. I can tell you that there is a good day and 6 bad days but I can tell you for sure that anxiety and/or panic cannot overcome you because they belong to your being, that is to say it is physiologically impossible for something to overcome you if you are the one who created it. It is not easy and I understand every single person who has the same problem. I try not to avoid any symptom, I have to feel it to be able to handle it. The only thing that has been a little difficult for me is to rest because even though I sleep my mind can never fully restore itself and I stay tired all day. If anyone has any advice, we are here to support each other.

Panic attacks
Welcome Clover8
Your train of thought comes from the brilliant Dr. Claire Weekes "Hope & Help for Your Nerves" A theory in using Acceptance and not fighting anxiety and it's symptoms.
You seem to be doing all the right things and yet wonder why the panic and symptoms
don't go away.. May I suggest one more important step that can help you regenerate
and go into a REM restorative sleep state? Meditation can be the key in grabbing the
attention (in a positive way) of your subconscious mind that continues to play negative
thoughts while you are trying to sleep. Throughout the day, that negativity is constantly
in the background noise making you feel tired.
YouTube has been my "go to" in where I found that Meditation/Breathing before sleep,
upon awakening and midafternoon can change your thought pattern. It takes time,
dedication and persistence but well worth the outcome.
I'm happy you are here with us. Listen to what has worked for others and give it a
try, nothing to lose but everything to gain. If it doesn't work, discard it. Breathe xx
Hi Clover8,
thank you for sharing your experience with us so we can all learn from each other. For years I was in your condidtion where i couldn't explain the nausea, panic attacks, migraines, suffocated feelings, and ulcer problems. I read everything that might help, or at least I thought. It wasn't until I distanced myself from my toxic mom that I realized I was poisoned by people like her. Now I don't have the physical symptoms anymore but i still get triggered.
at least now, I've recognized what the source of my problems are and try to resolve them.
I hope this helps you on your journey. I am far from reaching the end on mine but I will continue to learn from others.
Be well and hope you thrive!
