I hope it passes soon. Keep taking deep breaths.

Do you take any meds for them?

Sending supportive thoughts...

I hate it that panic attacks have no respect for a person trying to go to sleep. It has happened to me more times than I care to think about. Remember to stay calm, think positive thoughts, and take deep even breaths.

Thanks for your advice Elana05 & Faylowell. I was doing all that When I posted and took a tablet. But didn't think i could hold it off. But I managed to. I fell asleep. But had a horrible sleep. I don't know if I am getting sick but I would wake up so hot and it's nearly winter hear and it was freezing last night. I just stayed calm, tried to think of something different. Each time i woke. But i can't get over how hot i was last night. Thanks again for your advise

(((((((((Ambrosa))))))))))) I really hate it when I've been doing better for a while and then suddenly, out of nowhere, the panic sets in again. It's so disheartening what that happens. But I have come to see that that is simply the nature of the beast. And it doesn't negate the fact that you were doing a lot better. Nor does it mean that you won't do better again. You will!! So I know it's really hard, but I hope you can see the bad night you had as an isolated incident. And that you'll quickly get back on track.

Hugs to you!!
