Screaming In The Night

Over many years I have been though about everything anxiety has to offer but this is a new low and I am scared crapless......I was in a meltdown for no reason all day yesterday and went to bed in total hell. After a couple of hours the symptoms built to the point I  started screaming - not small screams but blood curdling the neighbors can hear screams. I had no idea it was going to happen and it of course woke my wife up and scared her. I did it several times.

I have been awake all night in total terror and now this makes me feel like I am going insane. HELP !!

What type of symptoms were they? You said "waves". Was it panic?

You've been through all that anxiety has to offer. This is just another set back you can overcome. First you have to ask yourself what brought this on. Was it a nightmare? Maybe you been under alot of stress lately.

I felt on edge all day yesterday myself. The day got better later on and I settled down a bit but earlier in the day, I felt like I was going to lose it. You have to believe it is just anxiety. i know this doesnt make it any better but just know that you will get pass this setback.
