I'm writing this because I have no idea what to do, who to see and no one that really understand this. Last night I had a terrifying experience that has really fu ked me up today. This has happened about 10 times in the last 4 years. This time it was more intense than ever. It really has me messed up, and I'm struggling to type this out.
When I was 16 I was diagnosed with anxiety (around people mainly) I was on medication for a while but I hated hoe it made me feel. I'm 29 now. I've learned how to live with this disorder. But last night, after I fell asleep, I woke up in a horrific panic. It woke my girlfriend up. She had asked me if I was OK and I said no and ran to the restroom (my safe space I guess) i don't remember that part. But, my heart was pounding so fast, I felt like I was going to die, and I couldn't calm down. It took a few minutes and then I did calm down. I also for whatever reason brushed my teeth? I went back to bed. But today I feel so out of it, and just run down.
Is this anxiety, or a nocturnal attack? Could it be a health condition? I would love to connect to others with this issue.
