Every Wednesday attack out of nowhere

Grrr why do I keep getting attacks on Wednesday mornings??? For no reason it is a day like any other no big meetings or anything. Could it be from being out at the weekend??

What are your sleeping patterns like?

Your anxiety could be related to being overtired or exhausted?

By Wednesday I am ALWAYS so, so tired. I drink coffee in spite of my anxiety, I am functioning on a total of 10-11 hours of sleep total since the start of the working week on Monday and I never learn my lesson: I stay up super later on the weekends and f@ck up my sleeping pattern. I get maybe 4-5 hours a night on Sunday-Tuesday which leads to heightened anxiety by Wednesday !

Now that I am aware it's a trigger, I'll self monitor a little - maybe skip the coffee, squeeze in a nap when I get home just in case.

Do you sleep ok during the working week?

Thanks laurendisorder. Well that does sound like what I do alright tend to have less sleep at the weekends although I sleep okay during the week. Monday's am usually tired but always feel fine by tuesday. Then bam Wednesday I wake up knowing an attack is coming which of course wreaks me more.

I'm off the coffee but maybe I will try get some naps in at the weekend see if it helps.

You said before you have a stressful job too I just find it so frustrating coz I want to be able to do my job.
