Panic Attack On Awakening

Sorry I haven't been here for a while, I've been doing ok and didn't want to trigger myself.

So, after months of being pretty calm and finally getting sleep after recent med change, I woke up this morning with a full on panic attack. :'( My heart was racing and horrid palpitations, my body was numb and tingly and I couldn't breathe. :( Despite having a lot of panic attacks in the past, this scared me a lot - the fear turns into terror.

I was doing a lot of processing and reflecting yesterday so I do wonder what I was dreaming about. I can't remember!

I've since had a bath to calm myself down etc - I sweated bucket loads!! :( Oh well... Let's hope that this doesn't turn into a regular occurance...
