My Journey Back to Health  Hoping that all the years of fun might be reversible

Panic Attack at 2 am

by Dino Corvino on December 4th, 2008

So, I think I had a panic attack last night, or at the very least a existential ennui soul pounding.  I laid in bed at 2 am, until about 4 am, and I just felt this overwhelming sense of dread and hopelessness.  I was literally in pain from it.  My right knee (the bad one for those keeping track) was in real pain.  I could not get out of bed, I could not really get up.

It was amazing to experience.

I know panic attacks are real things, so what is a real one like, because last night might have just been overwhelming sadness.

    Did you wake suddenly from sleep and/or have any paralysis initially? Were you sleeping on your back and feel any pressure on your chest?
