Embarrassing Wet Bed panic attack while dreaming
Hi all. I’m so embarrassed. I haven’t done this since I was a kid...I’m in my twenties now. I wet my bed. What happened was, I was having such an intense dream. I actually had a panic attack when in the dream. I should have known...I had to go to the.bathroom stall in the dream but like I couldn’t put two and two together. I can’t get over that I had a panic attack in my dream as well. It almost seemed like I was in real life, so I should just “go”. The PA was related to my aunt in the dream. I don’t see her much irl but she’s not a nice person. Not anymore. It’s too long of a story to tell here. Mostly I just came here after cleaning up super embarrassed but also to see if anyone else has had this happen. *hides*

Yes, I have done that, and dont feel embarrased. It happens sometimes. My anxiety was at its peak in my 20's and early 30's. I have had accidents, hit people, jumped out of bed mid panick attack screaming. It takes time. Cut yourself some slack, dont be too hard on you. Now that I am older I can almost tell you when I will have a nightmare due to my daily activities. It is usually 3 days from an event. So I try to take a pm med to help me from dreaming. Doesnt always work, and I dont want to be dependant on them so I rarely do that. However, it has helped. Take a deep breath , its ok. Clean up and chin up ok. :) hang in there.
That’s interesting...I should really keep a log of when these nightmares happen. It would make sense to have nightmares a few days after an event. Mine are often related to school, since I want to go back. Worst ones for me are nightmares where I have to “go back” to high school because I forgot to complete a course lol. Frightening. Thanks for your supportive words :) I’ll see if I can find a pattern.
