View Full Version : sleeping issue
hi just woke in the middle of the night so got up for a glass of water, whilst feeling slightly panicky trying to get back to sleep whilst drifting off i was still aware and it was like i started trembling in my half unconscious state and my head was going fuzzy and i jolted awake screaming! Almost like i was having some sort of fit whilst asleep as you can imagine im now wide awake and really panicky and shaky, anyone else had this??
Not quite as bad as that but I have woken up feeling anxious. It's silly really as I'm going on holiday Saturday with my husband son and fiance and I've started worrying about getting panic attacks on holiday!
I know I'm doing it to myself but I cant stop.
With you, I think between sleep and wakefulness the body can go into a weird state of fuzzyness and paralysis. I have heard of this and my children have said it has happened to them. Nothing to be alarmed about.
hi iv had this many of times. iv woke early in the morning only to have a full blown panic attack for no reason. my head feels as if its going to pop, i think its like lindor said being between sleep and wakefulness, and because your not fully awake the first thing to do is panic. xx
hi ive too had this in early days of my panic attacks.... i use to be in a deep sleep then wake... try going back to sleep but then my mind would start thinking, thinking thoughts that then made me feel unsafe.. vunerable... i use to wake my husband just to talk to him, to know i wasnt alone!! ive spoke to my dr who said its common to feel more anxious early hours of the morning esp if its dark.. hope this helps?? x

I have most of my panic attacks after waking up in the middle of the night ( like last night ) I usually go the toilet get back into bed then my mind goes into overdrive and I cant stop the feeling then, I think am usually more scared and they are brought on because am in the dark and everyones asleep and its too quiet to let your mind wonder ! Its so horrible and I feel for you. But just know that your not alone. Hope your feeling ok now xx
