Night Panic Attacks
« on: May 11, 2010, 10:10:27 PM »
I posted an introduction in the other forums but thought I would put this on here too in case someone in this forum can help me.  Sorry for posting twice, I just really need help.   I have had insomnia for a long time now.  It is no big deal for me to wake up at 2 or 3 am and just not be able to go back to sleep.  I fall asleep just fine but rarely can stay asleep all night without the help of sleeping pills.  I was on Ambien CR but they were just too expensive, even with insurance.  Anyway, in the last month or so I have been waking up feeling nauseated and in a panic.  When I first wake up I have the feeling that I forgot to do something, but I can never. ever remember what it is.  Sometime I wake up and I just feel like something is VERY VERY wrong.  I am not really scared but something is just not right and I wake up worried.  I just have this heavy feeling in the pit of my stomach and this horrible feeling of despair.  I am not sweating when this happens, I don't have an elevated heartbeat or anything like that.  I just wake up feeling so sad and depressed and feeling I forgot something or that something is wrong.  It usually take me an hour or so to stop the feeling and I have to read or get online and play around on the computer before I can go back to sleep.  The nausea can last for hours.  Matter of fact I woke up at 2 last night and the "heaviness" in my stomach has come and gone all day.  I am nauseated as we speak.  I also feel like crying for no obvious reason all the time lately.   Has anyone had these "night" attacks? Please help...  I just want to feel normal again and sleep.  Thanks

this is essentially a double post.  For those who have any helpful advice, please post it here:

MOST anxiety happens at the subconscious level.  JUST because you don't feel consciously anxious or had a day or two of calm doesn't mean your mind & body are relaxed.  It can take months of reduced anxiety before a body goes back to a more non-reactive state.
