Hello everyone,
i have just been diagonised as suffering from anxiety and panic attacks, so i am so thankful 2 have found some where i can talk 2 others who feel the same way as me.
my attacks seem 2 happen at nite time when i am sat down trying 2 relax and watch tv ..i find my mind goes into over drive and starts thinking every negative thought possible and before i know it i am having an attack, ,
i am having difficulty sleeping at nite and find my self watching the clock and just waiting for daylight 2 come.
i have got a wonderful partner called steve but sadly he does not understand wot i am going through so very easily becomes short tempered and stressed with me i also have 2 wonderful boys of 9 and 12 who right now are really missing out on having a mum who is fully functioning for them.
i am determined 2 get myself better no matter wot it takes but i just as so glad 2 have found some where i can come and share my thoughts and feelings xx[b]

Hi Wendy - I too suffer from panic and anxiety. I sometimes have night time attacks, and I too just watch the clock waiting for morning to arrive. In fact sometimes I fear going to sleep.

My partner Anthony tries to understand but I really believe you have to experience it to fully understand. This web-site reinforces that anxiety related probles are very common amongst, the young and old, male and female! We are all in the same boat.

Welcome aboard Wendy

Hi Wendy-
Hope you get some benefits from this board- there are some great people here.
I too suffer from the night time panic- it's a terrible curse! I think many people have said this but... keep water by your bedside- and maybe a book to browse if it takes your mind off things. I avoid bedtimes- so you may see me in the chat room at 2 am most nights!
Hang in there, hope to chat sometime.
love Joanne x

My night horrors only started a couple of months ago (panic on the other hand started 2 years and 2 months ago)...it's the negative thoughts that get me and then there's that fear of swallowing my tong...but thats not so bad now...god I sound like I'm ready for the nut house!
