Freaking out!

UGHHHH!!! As im laying here trying to go to sleep, I start to think ofcourse and now idk what's wrong but i feel like in having a hard time breathing! I feel as if I keep holding my breath. And my whole upper body tenses up. Idk how to explain it :( if I sit up and take a breath, I feel better.. my mind is just racing thinking about dying and I feel very panicky right now. Gosh why is this happening to me?! What is wrong with me. I'm so sleepy and on top of it, tomorrow's my sons first bday party and I gotta be up in a few hours D: seriously fml

My doctor explained to me that we can sometimes have more panic issues at night, because now we have time to think, and the mind can race and we worry and then our body reacts by panicking.

I am not a doctor by no means, but I have had the same symptoms, not sure if you take anything for anxiety, but this is where a quick acting anxiety medication may have came in handy.

Of course this is something you may want to discuss with your doctor, and hopefully he can help you.

I truly hope you feel better today.

Hi

Sorry to hear you are having high anxiety at the moment I hope you get some rest soon there are a lot of things that can help reduce anxiety such as medications and talking therapies such as CBT or Mindfulness have you ever done any of those?

Hibee

When I'm having anxiety I do the same thing. Without really realizing it, I'll catch myself holding my breath.

This is where all those breathing exercises we rave about come in handy! They really do work and they really are helpful.

I've always had "issues" around breathing, and it gets wrapped into my anxiety and panic. It always has. Learning how to breathe through these events, to be mindful of our breathing on a consistent basis is helpful.
