I had some intense symptoms of physical anxiety when I got into bed last night. It was strange because right before getting into bed I was thinking how much better my anxiety has been again overall. And then, a few minutes after turning out the light, my chest got really tight and I felt these waves of adrenaline coursing through me and my heart rate speeded up and I started sweating. It's so odd - and so disconcerting - when this happens out of the blue. I tried to stay with it and turn towards it. I got up briefly. Then went back to bed and tried to breathe deeply and evenly. Eventually I went to sleep. I sure wish I knew why that happened though. It's so unsettling. I still have some residual physical anxiety in my body today too. I'm going to go out for a nice hike later and I hope that will help. It's dry today!!

Love to all
