i feel so drained with my constant 24/7 anxiety so i try to nap in the afternoon like now and ive just woken in a huge sweaty panicky mess ... does anyone else get this or can relate ? i used to be able to nap but not now without waking like this
I had a horrendous panic attack a few weeks ago, which woke me from a sound sleep at 4:00am. It went on for 10-15 minutes. Afterward I lay for a long time totally drained, but still in extreme anxiety. Then came the intrusive horrible thoughts. I have Valium (which I hadn’t taken for 11 months) so the medicine finally calmed me down. For me, I find that reading my Bible daily, particularly the Psalms, really helps to block the intrusive thoughts. Since then I am trying to take better physical care of myself. I take Vasotec to calm my heart, and Sertraline to help cope with anxiety and depression. You are NOT alone. So many others are struggling to cope with this disease. I am sending positive prayers and thoughts. God bless you.
since anxiety came into my life i cannot snooze in daytime without waking feeling terrible, i try not to snooze as it always happens as i wake but when you dont sleep well at night its hard.
are you on medication which may cause this?
not sure if its the medication cauding it bug im on sertraline during the day and clonazapam then mirtazapine at night
