Just woke up to a panic attack :( After a good day

[AngelHeart]

I had a really good day yesterday and did alot of things I havent done in a while including going the gym. But when I was atching telly tonight I felt like I couldn't breathe , thought I had a lung clot but managed to breathe myself though it without telling my hubby. Went to bed, read for a while but then woke up 15 mins ago having a panic attack, heart racing, couldn't breathe , adrenaline rush. Am so miserable now as I've been doing well for a week now and I know I overthought a bit when I went to bed, but didn't think I would end up having one ! Feel like ive let myself down :-( Anyone up at this time ?? xx

Had a fab day then wham it hit me tonight!! Hope your feeling a bit better now xx

I haven't been sleeping for the past few days so I can't say I'm better but I keep telling myself that it's a feeling and it will pass by....regarding ur self , I'm sure it's the panick symptoms , if you still feel that feeling by tomorrow there is nothing wrong with a small visit to the GP just to be comforted, I hope you will feel better..

hi, i woke up a couple nights ago in a panic, again like you after a good day, when i awoke, i couldnt think, head was spinning... but i dont beat myself up about it by letting it get me down the next day... i just get up as if it didnt happen.. dwelling on it makes things worse... you havent let yourself down, we all have good and bad days... i think when we have a good day, we cling to the hope we are getting better, then when we slip back, it seems even worse... try not to dwell on it, and concentrate of positive thoughts of having a good day today... xxx

Same here I have had a few good days and was really productive yesterday and the day before, tackling some things I have been avoiding, and thus stressing over.

Woke up this morning feeling crap though. Probably only myself to blame - had a few beers last night which I knwo makes me feel rocky and degrades my sleep. Still a lesson learned and all that.
