idk what to do!!!!

I am so confused idk what to do.... Last night was a bad night for me I woke up out of my sleep after being asleep for 30 minutes with a horrible panis attack it took me an hour to go back to sleep... I woke this morning still feeling anxiety. Does anyone know of anything to do for this stupid thing... I have xanax but I am too afraid to take it bc it makes me fall asleep within 20 minutes if even. This anxiety/panic DP/DR is REALLY getting to me what should I do?

I'm so sorry hun.. I'm trying this all on my own myself. Well as fast as the med things go I don't take meds. But I do see a therapist that told me I need to see a physiatrist. So I'm in my mind doing this on my own til I see the physiatrist. But my therapist don't help any they did (there its two I see at once) but now since they told me I'm beyond their help I don't think anything they said after that has help me.

I'm here to help you as much as I can I have researched this so much I think thats why I'm able to try to keep going on my own..

There us a web site called no more panic and another called women to women. I haven't joined them but the readings on the sites have helped me alot. if you get a chance to check them out let me know what you think.

This site has helped me so much. I still have some fears and lots of anxiety and panic but I can try to get myself out of them and calm myself plus my fiance is very helpful and I have a very close friends whom I didn't know suffered from anxiety as much as he do and he has been lots of help also.. Message me of you like I'm here hun toot not alone..

Hey hun sorry to hear you going thru this. But I have had the samething my dp/dr lasted for over two months and still suffering. Couldn't sleep and count eat.

I found lavender and chamomile baths with the same candles next to my bed helped calm and relax me. There really isn't anything else I did except for relaxing before feed and trying to stay calm. Breath slow and let it take it's course thats what I did reading before bed to calm yourself helps also..

I'm so sorry I couldn't fine you more help on this as I'm still trying to figure this out myself. I know how hard it is to deal with this and how ut could control your life.. Are you talking to a therapist??

I'm not sure about the med thing I'm trying to fight this without them. I wish you much sleep and calmness and rest and better days. But I will tell you it gets better with time.. Hope you feel better.. I'm here to chat of need be..
