Midnight-Anxiety

Share it Please
A couple nights, i feel like i have a heart attack. It happen again, my panic attack from unknown reason, but this time it happen on the midnight and i have some sleepless night recently. The worst thing about having anxiety and panic attack is my body begins to sweat, my heart pounds, Even my ears ring. I'm so nauseated and feels like i'm going to pass out. I just can't function for four to six hours, and can't move. 
I remember the first time i'm having a panic attack, i assumed myself that i'm having a heart attack or something wrong with my heart, so i went to see the Cardiologist and they say i'm fine, and my heart is works perfectly fine. And that time i was sure i'm having a panic attack because it keeps happen on the midnight. I took so many medicine. 
But it can't just being healed by medicine, it still happen as i growing up. 

I vividly remember once panic attack experience at the mall with my parents  when all of a sudden I felt such fear and panic and it felt like everyone around me was blurring up and time was speeding up, my heart was racing and swallowing became difficult. It was insane! I ran out of the store and had to go outside until I calmed down. My Parents had no idea what was wrong with me! I felt terrible. I went to the doctor again and he prescribed me xanax and paxil. I got home and researched these drugs online and was terrified after reading so many awful stories of people who wish they never started taking them because they’re addicted and they feel like zombies!! i decided I wasn’t going to take them.  I started seeing a therapist but after 4 sessions I stopped going because she wasn’t helping me at all. Each session was basically this: She told me to lay down and make myself comfortable, talked for an hour to myself while she wrote down notes, then she would walk me through visualizations and breathing exercises and then she told me I should consider taking xanax! What the fuck man I told her I wasn’t going to take them! So yeah waste of my parents money. Everything she told me I already read in an anxiety books. 

So a couple of nights i start felling anxious again, and my mum told me to take a deep breath and istighfar. It works. I stop being Panic. But after a short sleep , i'm wide awake and it happened again. I was so sure that this Panic Attack are going to take out my life, i'm going crazy like You're fine one minute, and the next minute you're freaking out, it hits you so hard, No one understands how hard it is to overcome anxiety without medications. Anxiety is such a terrible disorder because its basically your own mind sabotaging your life! That’s how I felt, I hated myself for not being able to go out and live normally. The panic attack comes whenever it wants to come, and there's no reason why it appears,I can't turn it off and on with a switch. People think you're nuts, but I'm not crazy.

I had been in a state of panic and anxiety for every single day for a year. I was frustrated and had no idea what was wrong.I was afraid to go anywhere because I was afraid I'd get a panic attack

Or when it come to midnight-attack, i always feel like i'm gonna died instantly because of Panic attack. I'm terrified.

And in a daylight, I realised all my anxiety was related to public performance and how well I came across to a stranger or even someone I knew. Hence the anxiety on the road, waiting in a queue, walking in a room full of people and so on. I have this thought in my head that I’m not fully with it and I might collapse. This is the root of my problem and its difficult to get it out of my head.

Back to 2008 the feelings started when i moved to University. They weren't that bad i would just have anxiety that made me feel i was dizzy with my surroundings. I guess it was the new environment i was in. Why can't i be Normal?

And I hate the fact that Twice this week my heart began racing out of control, like I was afraid of something but I don't know what. Along with that I had a sinking feeling. Kind of a very unworldly, lonely feeling. I was really concerned that I might be going crazy. 

I just can't get rid off it, the thoughts about being anxious always keeping me wide awake at night.

And that's what happen to me recently, I just don't know how to spill out the feeling of anxious, so i hope writing this are gonna help me through it.
