Hi, Just_Try

I have experienced some of what you have gone through and like Kimmy said, it is terror. In fact mine hits early in the mornings and there is a name for it - "morning terrors." I wake up and the feeling is like I have gotten the worst news possible. I literally hide under the covers and tremble. By the time I get up *if* I get up, I'm in full-blown anxiety.

By the middle of the day I feel fine and wonder why I was feeling like that. I rationalize it in my mind...until the NEXT morning when the same thing hits. pdoc prescribes Ativan for me to ward it off so I can get up and go to work. I would like to know how to do other things, though - like breathing exercises, etc.

BTW - I had a panic attack so badly once that I walked off an airplane before it took off. Let's just say it wasn't one of the better days of my former marriage.

Hope you get some help for that soon...I know just how awful that feels!!
