Wake up in panic mode!

[brettalundgren]

I'm so sick of waking up in panic mode. Starting your day with a panic attack is the worst thing ever. Does it ever stop??! I hate this so bad, is it worth going on?

[Fearoffear]

It will stop in time when you find a way to reset yourself. I like guided meditations on YouTube. It is always worth going on. We here won't give up on ourselves, you or anyone here. Just talk we'll listen. You can get through this, we all can it's baby steps and being truly mindful. Hang in there, here to listen if you need anything. *Gentle hugs*

Was forgetting to breath last week and was in the same boat horrible couldn’t control it and was thinking the exact same thing “ how long was it going to last “ .... hope this helps ..... look at it has brain flu ... it will stop keep strong

You couldn't control your breath? What do you mean? Were you consciously breathing or what?

[HelloPanda23]

Is your panic related to a thought, or is it random? If it's random, when you wake up in the morning with a panic attack, immediately get up and count, 5, 4, 3 ,2, 1, and once you do, project a powerfully happy thought in your mind. Try to imagine yourself in that thought, with the happiness and the feelings you would normally get while in that situation. This is a technique I read up on by Mel Robbins.

Also, if you still have issues with waking up in panic, I advise you sleep with mindfulness music on. Make sure to use headphones, but don't place the volume too high. I heard this has helped people wake up very happy and refreshed, it may help you as well. Just be cautious that you don't damage your ears. You can search up more on this if you'd like to give it a go.

When I was dosing I was like shutting down and I’d forget to breath then my brain would kick in waking me up gasping for air it’s central sleep apnea .i get it every now and then it’s the worst thing ever your tired during day and it brings on anxiety as you feel there’s something really wrong ..... been doctors all they say is we don’t control our breathing it’s neurological...... this doesn’t help has I need to know the reason I get this bouts ..... this is how I found this support group ...... I do put it down to being stressed and brain overload seeing the post on being empathic is exactly my thoughts on how we all are and found it very helpful in trying to understand why we get so ate up

Try cbt hypnotherapy if you're comfortable with being hypnotized.

[brettalundgren in reply to HelloPanda23]

I want to try that! Thanks.

[brettalundgren in reply to Bradfordjoiner]

Thank you

I heard it has some amazing results, if you truly aren’t afraid of being hypnotized, then you can go through it. I myself don’t want anyone messing with my head, so I don’t want to go through with it. Btw, my anxiety is getting much better, just learn to not dwell on it. I am getting morning headaches and vomiting a bit, but I think I’ll be fine.

Hey bretta, if you’d like to go through guided meditation, use youtube. I’ve been reading up on it, and apparently, it can help us let go of our pasts and our future, instead of clinging onto them and feeling fears. It’ll help change your negative thought patterns, and possibly even help you heal your anxiety. When you’re asleep, you can put on the hypnosis therapy on youtube, and apparently it helps you wake up positively and happily. With the use of youtube, I think we can all cure our terrible habits and anxiety. If any of you have given it a try, please tell me how it goes for you guys, as I’m pretty facsinated by it. I myself don’t need to really do it atm, because my anxiety has lowered significantly, and I’m feeling better about myself and my life now. If you guys really are going through anxiety very badly, search up guided meditation on youtube and give it a go. Good luck!

Hi,

Try a calming alarm to wake you. I always hate getting woken by a shrill alarm. You can be awoken by calm music or even light now!

I have rain noises on when I go to bed.

Hi, I totally understand what you are saying. I have been in the same boat since the fall of 2017. As soon as I come awake I feel fear, not anxiety, ....fear! Yes, I have been on medications for many years. Why, I don't know because I live this scenario daily. Have you had your adrenal glands checked, i.e. an ultrasound. Too much cortisol can cause excess anxiety. I do find mine will start to diminish late in the afternoon. Why I don't know. I am totally sick of myself and have finally decided I need to try to get through one day at a time one hour at a time. I truly know how you feel. Hang in there.

Call on the name of Jesus day and night and he will do wonders for you I know I’m done with depression and anxiety but you must believe

[Andrew6619]

I know what this feels like, I've suffered from all symptoms for nearly 12yrs and I've had no proper help, I to have said is there any point as the physical symptoms are so disabling and I have no life at all

I have developed even different symptoms which is made this disorder worse and certainy do not believe how it is a panic disorder and truly believe something has been overlooked by the Dr's.

My heart goes out to anyone who has or still is suffering this, I would not wish it on anyone and still wonder to this day where did it come and start from, as before it I was an outgoing person.

It's just a shit truly is🙃🥺
