Hi there my good friend Wullie!!
What you said DOES NOT sound stupid at all!. I think it might be because at night this is the only time you may actually have with your thoughts. The kids are all in bed..your not working..basically your not busy. I think about stuff at night too so that why I read. It seems to help me alot...nights are better with my book..lol.
I hope that helps some Wullie!

love mama

Hi Wullie,

Like Anna, Dino and Mama said : No it's not weird at all. The panic will just go on at night. I was soooo afraid of getting a heart-attack all the time. Also when I tried to sleep I was still afraid of it.
During the night I would wake up like every hour with a shock. I would suddenly sit straight up in my bed, grabbing my pulse or neck, to feel if my heart was still beating. Very exhausting. The thought never left my mind.

Hey wullie. I know I'm a little late on this one, but I felt the urge to reply because last night was terrible. For some reason, I was having panic attacks all night. Couldn't sleep at all and finally fell asleep after the sun rose. Still was fearful while asleep, woke up feeling like a train had hit me and like I hadn't slept at all. Man, it sucks.

This is exactly how I feel most nights. Last night was awful because my heart was racing then that brought on the bad thoughts thinking that's it I feel my pulse thinking my heart is going to stop I sometimes have this twitch it's right before I drift off I jump right up in the air and then that starts the whole thing off again. I try to go to bed early but I just lie there thinking bad things and attacks I end up going to sleep at something like 5am and spend all the next day in bed wasting my life away. Right now I have an uncomfortable feeling in my chest and the odd pain but I don't know if the anxiety is exaggerating it. I end up having panic after panic attack I just can't tell anyone. I end up dreading going to bed because I can't switch off and that's just not like me I used to love my sleep. Right now I'm just feeling so down about it I just can't see a way out.
