I've suffered health anxiety for nearly 6 years now which all started from what i never realised was a panic attack at the time. I thought i had it under control as i had been 3 years without a panic attack, until about 3 months ago. I woke up in the middle of the night with a severe attack from nowhere which took me to hospital. (i didn't recognise it as an attack as it wasn't like one i'd had before and it lasted for a good hour) It scared the hell out of me, and now i'm waking in the night with the fear of having them, which in turn brings them on. I'm even anxious about going to bed and going to sleep and it's always guaranteed that i will wake up at some point coz my lil boy wakes, so i guess i've developed panic disorder :weep:
I'm seeing a therapist so i do understand the whole cycle of events but i want to know if anyone else suffers a simlar thing and how you deal with it or how you've overcome it.
Be great to hear from you guys :)
