Hi Josh and WELCOME to the site. I think part of the reason you are still waking up nervous, is that you go to sleep thinking negative thought about the possible panic attack. It is foremost in your mind, so when you wake up, the thought is right there where you left it. You are going to bed tense/negative. Try and change the negative thought to "just because I had a panic attack that morning (night, whenever) doesn't mean I'm going to get one when I wake up". I have found doing the relaxation techniques before bed one of the best things to do, with some positive self-talk. I do muscle relaxation and visualization the most, and when I get really tense or stressed, the box breathing. I don't know if you've done these before, but I personally feel they are the best coping techniques out there. It may take awhile to get the hang of it but don't give up, morning and night, practice twice a day. One day you will see that they come automatically when needed. It only takes 5-10 minutes at a time. Keep the faith and believe. I no longer have panic attacks. CBT works, so hope you are studying the program and doing the homework.

Hello Im Josh a 27 yr old Male from the US, I suffer from Anxiety/Panic Attacks its been 4 months living with this an its hard. I came across this site An it has helped me within 1 week, ive done more than 4 months. I get really nervous when im out in public places, My heart races really fast i also feel like im going to pass out, But by doing the homework they give you here I have been able to get out an go to a store without being so nervous. There are days when i feel awful the " WHAT IFS " are always stuck in my head, feel most nervous right when im waking up, dont know why tho. But I am here to talk with other people an we can help each other, because i know its hard living like this but in time it does get easier. If anyone needs to talk ill listen. Josh
