Panic Attacks at night
It used to be that I would wake up full of adrenaline, my heart pumping. Sometimes with very dark thoughts. Things have tempered off now that I can calm myself back down but still can not sleep through the night. Has anyone dealth with this? What helps? I am high functioning and can usually deal with things better during the day, but at night it feels like the whole world is crushing down on me.

Hello there! I'm sorry to hear you're dealing with panic attacks. It sounds like you're more comfortable with dealing with them during the day, but that you struggle with going to sleep at night, even though you've learnt to calm yourself down.
I have no experience with panic attacks myself unfortunately, but I did manage to find some links that will hopefully help! Here are some on panic attacks: our guide here on 7Cups, the FAQ, and the subforum where others with similar experiences may share theirs. Additionally here are some links on sleep - I realise they are mainly on insomnia and might not help but hopefully they can apply in some ways!: one, two, three, four and five.
Take care and thank you for reaching out!
