I fell deeply asleep on the sofa the other night for a few hours. When my boyfriend woke me up to go to bed, I quickly slipped into panic mode. That's happened to me before, coming out of a deep sleep or long nap.
But this panic was the first bad one I've had since I started browsing and posting on this website. I've been very open with him about what I'm thinking and feeling as well as the other interesting and hopeful stories/experiences/treatments I've read.
So as I'm lying in bed, unable to stop moving, freaking out, he just says to me, "What have you learned? Remember what you have learned."
So I pose the question: what tactics, stories, experiences, treatment methods, etc. have you guys learned on this website that has helped you to overcome moments of panic?
