I was sleeping

[brian_s_21]

But I woke up paranoid does anyone experience this ?

[MEGO]

All the time. Wake up not able to breath and in a full blown panic attack. Sucks big time! !

[SleeplessInPA]

Yup. it happened to me several times last night. Today I am exhausted and feel super anxious.

[brian_s_21]

I feel the same I wish anxiety would go away

[laurentellez]

I wake up gasping for air.. it's all normal. .. relax and breath

A good tip I used guys was having a fish tank in my room, the sound of water is relatively relaxing and when I woke up it took the edge off.

That's a really good idea, Morningcoffee! I love the sound of water/ocean, it is very relaxing!!

[mylove9080]

Yes!!!! Lately it has been happening to me

I usually find that, if I get to sleep, I don't wake up with panic and anxiety, but just this weight on my body screaming "I am so fed up" in my head. This feeling just continues throughout the day and is hard to get rid of.
The days I don't wake up with this thought are better than the ones when I do.

I hate this

[Lin]

I hate it too - it is all horrible. And unless you have ever had it you just don't understand. Good job there are places like this forum where you can talk to people who do understand.

You can download stuff like that to your smart phone or iphone if you have one

[SleeplessInPA]

I do, I started looking for a good one that works for me.
