I woke up around 3am this morning and I felt like there was someone in the house. Which caused me to start freaking out, which basically caused another panic attack. So, I sat in bed and tried to breathe through it and I couldn't. So of course the way I've been trying to deal with the stress is to cry it out. So I did that and it wouldn't work. My chest felt so tight and I was freaked that I was about to pass out.
I logged on AIM to see if anyone was on, but it was so late. I ended up calling Jay sometime around 3:30 ish and talked with him for about an hour which helped a bit. Then I attempted to go back to sleep and just ended up tweaking more. So I went into my son's room and layed with him until around 5:30 before I got restless and moved back to my own bed. The new issue I struggled with during this panic attack is that it felt like I was about to pass out/stop breathing every time I tried to fall back asleep.
It's sometime after 9am now and I'm still tense, but I am not freaking out. I just hope that this not sleeping thing doesn't become recurring while I'm getting used to the medication.
Oh, I also just got a call that my grandfather has died.
