Why am I waking up panicked and shaking and feeling like a terror/adrenaline rush?

but that answer makes me sad :( i either want the delusion of utopia or the respect of being old enough to handle daily paranoia lol

I think majikthise just described that transition in my life when I was a teen. Waking up at midnight with the walls in my room closing in on me. :/

oh 0.0 geesh that must have been scary

anxiety mabey??

is there any way to see if that’s really it? or ways to possibly stop it? like without a doctor?

Come up with a short sentence or two that captures the feeling and attitude you would like to wake up with. Say it to yourself every morning the very first thing when you notice you are awake. You can repeat it at other times too if you like. Try it for at least a couple weeks, consistently.

Also, do a similar thing every night when you are in bed, lights out, before you fall asleep. Repeat to yourself a different short statement, this one expressing how you would like your sleep and your waking up to be. Hold the thought in mind, or repeat it over and over, as long as you can until you are asleep.

You could put these in the form of prayers - or not, as you prefer.

I will try doing that, hey it can’t hurt :)

thank you for the advice

If you do, I’d love to hear back from you after a couple of weeks about how it went.
