Night time anxiety

Hi Kala ( sorry i have been spelling ur name wrong)
Ihave had anxiety for 13 years i used to be really bad about when i first had it and for a few years i had to have someone with me all the time i very rarely left the house if i did it was not so great i did had not so bad days in that time i had a baby then when she was 8 months old i got breast cancer which strangly doesnt seem to scare me i am all clear thank goodness.
my marriage broke down and when i moved out i guess i had to stand on my own two feet and i believe that helped me but i have suffered on going anxiety since have not so bad times and then some great times i am still single as i cant see a man dealing with this but im ok with that for now.
all this came back with vengeance when i had that horrible room spinning panic when i was half asleep and half awake which was about 5 weeks ago now.
I dont like shops crowded places movie theatres the list is endless.
i have had a pretty good day didnt do a lot though i tend to spend more time in my bedroom when im anxious i know its the worst thing.
good thing i slept till 6.20 this morning so i finally got past 5 lol so that was a huge plus.
hope as night falls here u have a great day.
I am looking forward to having a great head in the morning as its my grand daughters 2nd birthday and i have to dive 20 mins away tad freaky but i will do it.

Well its bedtime for me but I hope your day will be fab! I hope you manage to settle down a bit soon as I think shutting yourself away indoors can not help the situation. I have to say after my first night time attack it took about 5 months or so before I calmed down enough for panic not to be the major think on my mind before I went to bed. Now it comes in waves....a few days here and there....i notice it alot more when im due for my period, I suppose it all the hormones.....anyway as I said have a good day :)

Hi Kala,
Sorry i have not been on i have had a couple of not so great days but im ok. I enede up driving to my grand daughters party which was a 39 minute drive not 20 as i thought and i stayed for only an hour and a half as i could feel the anxiety building and although i had my older daughter with me she does not drive.
When i left i cried in the car cause i felt so lousy but my beautiful daughter said hey mum u came on ur own steam so that was a big plus so that helped. I had to pull over once on the way home but that was ok.
I had a bad night with an ex partner causing me grief but i got through it and sunday was pleasant.
I have spent yesterday and today getting my back yard and inside of my house cleaned and caprets cleaned for a house inspection so been pretty busy and today i even went into Aldi ( super market) with my sister i start getting anxious but i DID it which was great.
had a good session with my councillor this morning so been a lot going on i guess. I agree with u darl i can't keep myself locked in my home i have done that before years ago and im not going back down that road.
Hope ur second meeting went well u will have to share some technics.
I have been listening to a hypnoss thing at night i find that helps a little.
Oh and i finally slept past 7 am i was so stocked
Hope u are well and chat soon Hugs Net xo
