What A Night!

[Gina]

Last night I went to bed tired and was looking forward to a good nights sleep. When around 1ish I am still up and hear my daughter talking to Gucci. I got up and asked her what was the matter. Gucci sleeps in her room and she was up and didn't want to sleep and kept panting this was making my daughter nervous. So finally after 2 hrs she takes her downstairs in the family room where its cooler to sleep. Yes it was hot last night but my daughter had her ceiling fan on. I couldn't sleep either kept getting up to go to the bathroom and checking on Gucci.

I called the dog hospital they are opened 24 hrs and spoke to a tech. she said it didnt sound like anything to worry about. In between not sleepin I got an anxiety attack where my heart races and every nerve in my body pulsates, do any of you ladies ever experience anxiety attacks?. Well I got one hr. of sleep and today I feel like crap.


Any suggestions if you do get them at night on how to handle the anxiety ?

I have had really bad anxiety attacks and I take medication for it. I've tried to get off of the meds but the anxiety is still there. I'm just thankful for the meds.

I got so bad one day that I had pains going down my left arm and I thought that I was having a heart attack. My blood pressure went sky-high and I was in the hospital for 3 days.

I've not had anxiety attacks Gina, so I'm sorry I can't help you. Maybe talk to your Dr. about some meds like Diana.

Diana , I didnt realize that you get aniexty that bad. I feel for you. Thanks Janet for your input. I don't get it bad just once in awhile and when I do. It makes me very agitated especially if its a night. I think Gucci was just hot she fine today... Sleeping of course lol...

You sound like me. The more I can't sleep the more I worry about the fact that I can't sleep which continues to keep me awake. it usually starts by me worring about something, but then I can't stop my brain. My doctor perscribed me xanax. It helps; I only take half a pill when I absolutely have too. It sounds like something has you worried because frequent urination is a sign of anxiety. I recently started seeing a therapist because I was worring so bad about something that I wouldn't sleep or eat for weeks at a time. Some things I've read also say to stop trying to go to sleep & get up and do somethng & that you'll go to sleep when you're tired.

Oh how scary! I'm glad little Gucci is doing better today. I'm sorry that you have anxiety attacks. That sounds awful! I hope you are able to finds medication that can help.
