3am seems to be my trigger time most mornings too. You're not alone. Hope your doctor was able to give you some assurance.

Thanks jennywren 13, yes they reassured me its "normal" and that it will get worse before it fets better. Ive been on meds 1 week and have to give them 4 week to kick in. Gonna be a long haul and its sxary but i really want to get back to some kind of living. Hope u are ok and are doing well?

I'm glad. Sometimes a doctors reassurance means so much.

I'm scared about tonight as I had such a big panic attack overnight. But it's nothing I haven't handled before. The tightness in my chest is horrible :(

I hope you have a better day xoxoxo

[Sunshine84]

Thankyou you too. Im also scared about tonight. If u are suffering come on here and we can chat and keep each other calm. We will be ok x

[jennywren13]

You're so kind Sunshine84. I'm in Australia so it's your Friday and my Friday night.

I am trying to keep a lid on the tightness in my chest and breathing. I know rationally these are common symptoms so I am focusing on that.

I hope your day is a good one. If you need to chat I'm here

Thanks jenny you too and good luck with the sleeping. Keep telling yourself you WILL be fine. Relax and get comfy x
