Re: Panic all night
Hi! It sounds very much like anxiety and panic. I have found the best way to deal with a panic attack is to tell myself 'I accept and allow these feelings and sensations. I'm safe, panic and anxiety can't hurt me'. I have been dealing with it for a long time and in the beginning I fought and resisted every feeling I had. Once you accept the feelings, the panic will lessen. It is the fight that keeps it going. You could try some meditation and grounding techniques to try to ease the anxiety. Mindfullness meditation is very good at helping you think about the here and now instead of worrying about the next panic attack. It will get better and you are doing very well to be able to get back to sleep after the night waking panics. Maybe some deep relaxation meditation before bed would help with the night time waking.
