...intense fear?!

[AutumnsMoonChild]

Every once in awhile I'll be sitting around with nothing particular on my mind,usually at night,then I'll freak out...I'll be really really scared for absolutely no reason at all. So I try to keep my mind off of it by listening to music,drawing,reading,etc. Problem is,doing anything just makes it worse. I've tried doing nothing at all,but that makes it worse,too. The fear is so intense,totally mindblowing. It lasts for around eight or so hours or whenever I get tired enough to sleep it off. Once I sleep it off,I'm alright for a few hours,but then it comes back. This happens for a few days and I don't know what to do!!

This happens to me too! Only not for quite as long... do you think its panic attacks I kind of think thats what mine is.

I'm BiPolar and have an anxiety disorder, and that sounds a lot like a panic attack. You should talk to your doctor, there are medications that can help, and you can work on deep breathing to calm yourself down from one. For me the deep breathing didn't help much at first, but after doing it for 10 minutes 2xs a day, it kind of helped. Good luck!

Whatever you do stay away from psychedelics.
