Hi ya

Mine tends to get worse as the day goes on, and I put it down to tiredness-having too many late nights at the mo.. so as the day goes on, the defences drop.

When you say night, do you mean during the sleeping part, or earlier in the evening?

Are you sleeping OK?

Hi Mazz

I have the same problem, nights are more difficult for me, still waking in terror every now and then.

Mazz,
I think it is because during the day time we are preoccupied with the every day things we do, but as the evenings come along, we start to wind down a bit and have more time to think.
Thats when we start to think about the anxiety and then we start to worry and then we start to panic.
Try to take your mind off of it in the evening too, by doing something that you like to do. All the time your mind is busy doing something else, it doesnt have time for the anxiety.

Find some good talk based radio shows where people phone in, preferably interspersed with music. These will help by making you feel less isolated.

We feel alone at night because things are shut down but there are lots of people buzzing around still. I'm going to buy a Ham radio receiver so I can hear people as they drive about the country, also a CB radio can help even if its just hearing the truck drivers voices, it still helps break the isolation.

I have often thought that there must be a forum or chat-room where people who are awake at night and need company can meet up and help each other get through the nighttime hours.
