    Yes, I think it is part of the anxiety attacks. I got the same feeling like yours and you need to control them because later it will cause you much severe panic attacks.

    Do think unnecessary things and try to seek help.

    I have recovered from these attacks but it takes time.

    go to your doctor and ask for a script or seroquel. It relieves anxitey and has drugs that help you sleep.

    you will sleep peacfuly and it also has antidepressents which I have found leaves you in a fairly good mode throughout the day.

    yep, it’s an anxiety attack. the same thing happens to me. I would say get help because they start happening in hte day time too. but that would make me a hypocrite. But if you know what’s good for you go to a doctor.

    What i do is i wait until i’m really tired before I go to bed, because if i’m going to lie awake i think too much, and get stressed out. Do something you find really relaxing before bed, like having a long bath. Having a walk in the evening helps me, because it’s relaxing and it uses up my excess energy. it’s also good for you because it releases endorphins and makes you feel happier. hope you feel better.
