New here :)

Just joined this sight. Wanting to feel some encouragement and less alone. I've had a relapse since discontinuing my meds last June and that was a big mistake. I suffer the most from panic/anxiety attacks right upon waking (4 am ish) it's so hard to curtail the flood of unwanted and intrusive thiughts and before I even know it im sliding down the slope and try as I might go offset with CBT techniques deep breathing, inserting truth where there's lies etc etc...the grip is so powerful that even once it subsides (after a low dose of Klonopin) im left with the feeling of being traumatized and assaulted by my very own mind that lingers throughout the rest of the day. Kills my appetite. Evenings there is a slight reprieve. Can anyone relate? :shrug:
