waking up with an attack

Julez,

Sorry to hear you are not finding help through health care practitioners. Don't be discouraged. Know that you have this site to come to for support.

Take time to work through the Panic Program. It requires dedication each day, but has helped SO many members through their journey to better sense of well-being. Do what you can and take it one day at a time.

Apart from the support you have through the PC forums, is there any kind of community program or group support offered close to where you live?

ive seen doctor after doctor about it and they say its due to my medication which is paxil , and its not really a big concern. panic/anxiety is something that really isnt taken seriously by any health care professional. the dreams relate to my past mostly or feelings that i have. clearly i need some sort of counselling but cannot afford it, and i could wait a year or more to have a counselor funded by the government. ive completely run out of options and am losing hope that i will ever have peace in my mind.

Hi Julez,

Sorry to hear you've been waking up in a panicked state. Do you recall what is happening in your dreams? Does it reflect any situations or emotions you are having in your everyday life? Perhaps if you notice some kind of pattern you can work through the anxieties or perhaps illogical/negative thoughts you are having.

Have you consulted a health care practitioner? If you find that you continue to wake having a panic attack, I suggest seeing one that can help you determine why you may be having them.

this past week or so ive been just waking up in a panic attack , i cant say that has ever happened to me before.. not like this anyways. i believe its due to the intense exhausting dreams ive been having every night, but im not sure. i seem to be telling myself that im going schizophrenic because of my thoughts of unreality that consume my anxious thoughts every time im having an attack. i know that schizophrenia entails a lot more serious symptoms then just a detachment from reality but because i was a marijuana smoker for a long time that thought is stuck in my head. does anybody else ever think that ?
