Hey, guys. Josh, here. 27 years old. Anxiety and panic disorder for 10 years.
So, I woke up a little over an hour ago pretty much hyperventilating with a fast heartbeat. Familiarwith it, so I calmed myself down in about 30-45 minutes. As I get older, I just worry it becomes more dangerous for some reason..
I've been asleep maybe 4 hours but I was having a weird dream before I woke up.
Anyway, this whole deal has been slowly growing to this point for weeks and I've just been worrying myself with heart problems and palps because I've had dark circles and some fatigue that develop whenever I do anything like be social at all. Even having a friend over feels draining and drags me way down and that's when I feel like the dark circles get worse.
So, I started getting worried about the dark circles and had started trying to calculate how much sleep I was getting and it feels on average about 4-5 hours a night with a 3 hour nap in the day.
I am home with agoraphobia now for 6 months.
I also have bad sinus problems lately and read that pressure can cause the circles.
I take 5-10mg melatonin for sleep but I just can't stay asleep for long but I don't wake up feeling too tired until a few hours later.
Thanks for any and all help. I just want this weird combination of poor sleep, anxiety and fatigue with dark circles to go away.
