panic attacks



tonight has been rough. its 2:30 a.m. And I am too
scared to fall asleep in fear that I will not wake up.
I think I am probably just going to try and stay awake
and play a game or something. Please write me. I
would love to speak to someone in the same boat
right about now. I am actually quite tired. Maybe I
will try and fall asleep :/ but I am going to set my
alarm for 6, I do want to be awake.

I had one of those the other night. I was falling asleep and suddenly everything felt oddly unreal. I thought that life was leaving my body; that I was actually dying. I scared the hell out of me (and my wife). I then calmed down and gradually fell asleep. It's classic panic attack.

On following nights, I tried watching something that made me laugh. Not just mildly amused, but laughing so hard that I can barely catch my breath. Laughter is tremendous medicine that reduces stress and puts your body into a state of calmness.

I also suggest not eating anything 3 hours before going to bed. Have some chamomile tea instead.

Hope this helps
