Panic Attacks

[Booklover-22]

Hello- for over 20 years I struggled off and on with anxiety. I had learned to manage and cope with anxiety attacks and stress. I got divorced later in life, and I had a traumatic experience from my ex-husband and his threats of telling me he would kill me and my current husband. This escalated and he came to our home to threaten us in person. This happened at the end of June 2023, I started having nocturnal panic attacks October 2023. My ex-husband is behind bars, so I know he can’t get to me, but I have these nocturnal panic attacks every 3-4 weeks out of nowhere. I had blood test and seen a doctor to make sure there is no underlying condition. There is not, it’s just nocturnal panic attacks. These attacks come while I am asleep.

Does anyone else have them while asleep? Have you done certain treatments that have helped?

Thanks!

I used to get really really bad nightmares where I'd wake up screaming when we had my dad sent away (he use to say the same things to me and my mom). They gave me some meds for them but I completely forgot the name :(. Now I'm supposed to be on this cocktail of pills for anxiety anger ptsd mdd and now probably bpd. I'm glad you have your current husband with you. It always helped me when I had someone to hold me when I slept. There's also no shame in a cute lil night light (I have one shaped like a turtle)❤️
