Do you get or have you had these in the past? What sort of techniques did you try? What helped?
I’ve had a few over the last month or so, there’s been a lot going on with both my family and close friends. When I go to bed when I’d normally relax and go into sleepy mode suddenly I’m wide awake and my heart is pounding/thoughts racing/feeling of impending doom.
I’ve tried getting up which meant I stayed up most of the night because I could not settle. Last night I tried gazing at a fixed point in the bedroom and zoning out until the panic slowed. It did eventually thankfully. Horrible though.
