Hi Everyone,

Just read this article and was impressed.

So I thought I would share it, we all get that moment of panic, here is a way to help control it so the feeling does not get out of hand.

I have tried it twice, it works for me.

Peace and strength

Thanks Trina for sharing. These are good to remember in a time of panic. Gives you self control back.

I am not a person who normally gets panic attacks, but once in a while I get this really bad panic attack just as I am falling asleep. Generally if I raise up, pump my pillow, and turn over I can chase it away. It just seems so weird and random - only lasts a minute or maybe just a few seconds, but very intense.

Anyone else have anything similar? Just curious.

Yes, I was getting them every night for 3 years between 11:30pm and 12:45am

Turns out that was the time a family member would come in my room and abuse me.

Not saying that is your case.

However, it appears that falling a sleep is trigging a fear for you. Are seeing a therapist for anything? Are you on any medications for depression or anxiety? Could possibly in a rare case be a med.

Peace
Trina
