anxiety taking a turn for the worse, weird sensations before bed, advice?

Hey guys

I posted a post last week about how better I became but clearly I must be having a 'relapse' of anxiety

I believe it may be health anxiety - I seem to worry all the time that something is wrong, that small pain behind my breast bone? I'm dying, that light headiness? I'm going to have a fit

I don't know why it's come back so strong, could it be because I was really ill and tired that I was more vulnerable to anxiety?

I'm also having a weird sensation and not sure if this is related or normal but ill try explain it

it when i close my eyes to sleep - i can feel like a light feeling in my head and know what im about to describe will happen - it almost feels like a whoosh of energy and feeling in my head and i jump up quickly with my heart beating really fast - it doesnt last very long as slowly breath and tell myself its fine, but why does it keep happening? its almost like a shock, im worried it might be a fit but i don't know? its hard to explain but its a bit like when you wake up from a dream that you fall over but im not asleep and just have my eyes closed, it seems to be in my head but its an instant rush and jump up i cant really explain it

i don't really want to go on antidepressants again but i just feel i need to learn how to relax and take my mind off things instantly

does anyone have any advise or any suggestion at what these weird sensations are when im trying to sleep?

Hi Andrew. While my anxiety hasn't manifested that way per se (just that dizziness or light headed ) sometimes I feel a weird sensation in my head that tells me "this is it Eric". I believe that is the fear response though. Anxiety I am finding is not a linear process like a broken bone or anything. I can be having a good day for a few days consecutively, but bam something trips me. The thing I have to remember is just because I'm having a good day doesn't mean I need to stop those things I know help. Deep breathing, relaxation. I use a bumble bee breath. Inhale deep then hum for your exhale. If you get it just right it vibrates your head and forces a long slow exhale which can really calms me down! I did it for 20 minutes the other day and I felt like....happy. It was strange that I haven't felt that nice in a while. Sorry for rambling. Let's acknowledge we may have setbacks and be kind to ourselves
