Hey judy,
I have work related anxiety but I get panic attacks at night too. They're the worst. I've tried CBT but I'm such a damned negative person, it just doesn't do any good. I'm just living with it now as part of my personality and not caring much about anything at all. I'm done with therapy and medications except my benzos. I'm embracing the hell that is me!
Thanks though for the advice
Take care

> Even though benzos are my best friend too, I did benefit some from CBT. I did breathing exercises and learned to recognize certain cues so I could reframe my thoughts. Basically though, most of my panic attacks occur at night and I awaken terrorized and CBT is useless. Since yours sounds like it is triggered by work, you might want to call some psychs and see if they offer this type of therapy. Take care- Judy
