Lost in anxiety.

I woke up right at midnight with anxiety right over the roof. My legs are gone and i have a horrible time trying to walk. I have not slept since, im tired, feel hot, shaky and feel real scared. Today feels like my last day. I feel like im dying. Anybody else feel this bad?

Sometime I wake up like that, I thought I was going crazy. This is my first time on this website and I think I'm going to like it because there's people that are going thro what I'm going Thro and it could be a relief by just chatting with people that is going thro the same issues. I'm sorry your feeling this way today, what helps me is crying and asking God for his mercy.... I hope I didn't bother you in anyway with my words

God Bless!!!!

Pretty sure these are nocturnal panic attacks. I used to jolt awake feeling like I was being smothered.

That is also part of the problem. Crazy stuff.

I don't get them anymore. They went away when I stopped being afraid of them and started wakin up annoyed instead.

hi toni, all these are symptoms of an anxiety attack, legs feel as though they will not support you, shaky, feel like dying, its horrible at the time , but always remember with the right breathing technique it will subside, good luck . xxx

I have woken up like this before. Usually a nightmare will wake me up feeling that way. I have had nights where I feel like I have just fallen asleep and I wake up like 2 seconds later. I feel like my heart stops or I stop breathing and it wake me up within only a few seconds of being asleep. I have done that several times in one night. Sometimes a warm/hot bath will work and help me relax. It is all about relaxing and clearing you mind. If you let your mind and crazy thoughts take over you will only make it worse on yourself. Try taking some Xanax when you have an episode that you cant shake.
