Hi guys!

Life threw a bomb at me in the face! Like now! I get a racing heart that hasn't gone away and am feeling scared.

Wait, it's slowly going away as i type, but the funny thing is, when i start to doze off, it seems like my body jerks me back and makes me awake. :(

Rei,

Once I started to get a handle on my waking/day time anxiety...guess where it decided to move in?

Yep! At night, while I was just falling asleep...or even waking me up out of sleep with panic!

This could be a sign of progress then...as anxiety is sneaky...and if you are managing it well in the daytime, it is trying to now bother you when you are more vulnerable.

Keep up with your coping skills...focusing on them especially right before bedtime, to be as relxed as possible before sleep.

Peace and progress!

S.C.

I always know it comes at night, it never really affects me in the day haha. But why, that i never know. After all my problelm is a panic disorder not anxiety.

Yeah coping skills definitely work. Especially journaling and venting it here. It's strange how it suddenly comes haha. Oh but i realise the moment i feel less full(from dinner), it goes away!

I kinda had some trouble sleeping so i got up, and imma try again now. Good night sc!
