[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 617984, member: 1550"] Amb, as you know I have had serious panic disorder and anxiety disorder all my life. I used to wake up in panic too, especially if I was also depressed. I didn't even want to open my eyes but the feeling of dread would come, eyes open or closed. I am finding the concept of mindfulness and dialectal behavioral therapy more helpful for my anxious mind than any other form of therapy. DBT is like CBT only improved upon. There are books about it too. I'll post one so maybe you can read it and see if you think it will help you. The real help comes with learning mindfulness and how to stay in "wise mind." I remember also wishing that I had a physical problem that would explain the depression/anxiety, but nothing ever showed. Here is one of the books on mindfulness for anxiety. I hope you like the concept. It is all about living in the present and focusing on the here and now...it can bring you back from a panic attack too. I used to have sudden panic attacks that would hit me for no reason, and I had no skills to bring myself back from the terror. Now I do have skills to help.
