So I haven’t had super bad anxiety as before but rn I can’t skeep. So I was closing my eyes and started feeling like I couldn’t breathe well or like I was sort of holding my breath and I keep waking up gasping for air or just panicked bc I feel like I’m gling to stop breathing ... anyone else been through this? Now I’m scared to fall asleep. I get a lot of my anxiety at night for some reason and I started feeling anxious /wonky like three or two hours before I laid in bed .
