Hello all,

Seems like lately my anxiety has been high. I've never woke up in panic before until two days ago. It's a really bad feeling, almost like when you see an actor in a movie waking up from a bad dream (breathing hard, shaking, scared etc ) I do suffer from GAD (General Anxiety Disorder). I hate new symptoms of anxiety , they make me panic the most. Just for the need of reassurance, have you had the wake up in panic experience ?

Keep using the coping mechanisms that help you durng times of stress and anxiety. It took me awhile to get used to doing these upon waking up in a panic, but the breathing/relaxation exercises and positive mantras really help.:)

I hope that you have some restful nights soon!

These are the worst!!
When my anxiety is high or I'm super stressed I get these. I wake up in sudden state of panic I shoot up from dead sleep heart racing, breathing hard, shaky, sometimes clamy &for me they tend to last awhile because your trying to process what all is going on..
