I was wondering if I am alone on this one. Has anybody had the feeling of having to catch ure breath while sleeping or having a hard time breathing while ure sleeping. I had an terrible night last night I kept jumping up out of my sleep gasping for air. Has happened to anyone else with anxiety besides me... HELP!!!

Oh yes definitely!!! I'm dead asleep and will wake up and gasp for air like I stopped breathing for a few seconds! I was super scared too, but found out it happens a lot. Just something else to add to the long list of anxiety symptoms unfortunately :/
