In reply to Lara. Thank you for your great suggestions Lara. Tiredness can be a huge trigger for anxiety.

In reply to Kayleigh.

I empathise with you. I had panic attacks whilst driving and generalised anxiety after having my daughter. Childbirth is a trauma although we don’t really recognise this in the UK. My daughter didn’t sleep and I was up pretty much 24/7. I got so physically exhausted that it started affecting my mental help. I think this is really common in women who have small children but it isn’t acknowledged in the medical profession

My ways forward were changing my diet and having protein with every meal. Paul McKenna’s I can make you sleep book. Breathing practices and mindfulness.

I wish you the best for sorting this out. It will pass, it is only a temporary state.

I have panic attacks quite often. A friend gave me the best advice for worrying about sleep. Always take a drink of water with you to bed. If you start to panic, sip the water. The reason is, you can not die if you are drinking. A panic attack wont kill you, we already hear this each time we talk to the GP. The water just proves that theory really. It helps me, often …. hope it helps someone else too.

Hello. I bypassed my doctor. I asked a nurse for help. She gave me a phone number of the local phycological therapist. I made an appointment to speak to them personally then she put me onto “silver loud” an on-line therapy which helped greatly which is through the NHS. You can find details on-line. Hope this helps.
