In reply to Have you ever awakened with a lot of anxiety?, posted by UgottaHaveHope on December 16, 2006, at 11:34:42
I used to have this when I had problems with anxiety and panic attacks. It was like something in my mind switched into anxious mode once it realized it was awake. The only thing I can say is that now my agoraphobia and panic attacks are gone, so is my anxiety. I still get anxious from time to time but it's not a big deal and I don't wake up and go into anxiety mode. I don't know if it was a *habit* that I unconsciously got into or what the actual cause was but I had that for a long time. Most days it would subside but during the real anxious times it was just with me throughout the day until I could sleep again.
Not much help there but I've been there before.
