Hi I haven't written in awhile and I decided to try and get some advice from everyone on here. My panic attacks recently came back worse then ever for the past month or so. I get them everyday in the morning and was getting them at night as well, but those have subsided. If anyone can give me any advice as to how not to panic when I wake up. I panic when I have nothing to do and I panic when I have to be somewhere, it's awful. I have been waking up lately and instantly taking my xanax which is only supposed to be used on an as needed basis and I absolutely hate taking them as preventative. They sometimes don't even work when I take them right away. When I panic I have to usually get out. I make my fiance take me for a drive, but I hate having to make him do this all the time. I also pace and I have these mints that I have to bite on, which might I add are making my teeth so sensitive and it is horrible! Also my life is becoming out of control because I actually have to make plans around my panic attacks in the morning. I never make plans before 2:00 and I try not to wake up before noon because of how bad they are. Lately though I haven't been able to sleep more then 6-7 hours a night so I go to bed very late so that I sleep until noon. It's just horrible. Any ideas about what I can do to make the panic attacks go away? What do you all do?
