Well hello 6am.

You would be absolutely correct to say something like ‘hey if there was actually something wrong with your breathing you would have dropped dead 4 hours ago!’ And I would totally agree with you too.

but here I am. 4 hours later. Still feeling like something is wrong. Grrr......


I have had anxiety disorder and panic for 24 years now. I have been agoraphobic for over half of that time. Including being pretty much housebound for 10 years. I have always gotten by on whatever sleep I could get. But the last 3 months, and the last month especially, I have been sleeping a whole hellofalot. Being awake for 3 hours straight is a good effort lol. Pretty much the only time I am not likely to fall asleep is when I am trying to get my sleep pattern sorted and lay in bed feeling like I can’t breathe properly for 8 hours, the 8 hours I should be sleeping. Soooo annoying I tell ya. My anxiety about this is getting worse. Started thinking there is something physically wrong with my cardio system etc. I have always been the kind of person who could get sleep when needed and get by all day on just a couple hours. It’s worrying me.
