I have noticed the last three times I have slept away from home I have woken up feeling nervous, always feeling like I have chills or nausea and then I start to go into a full blown panic. I was sleeping at an event with my daughter over the weekend and I ended up pacing in the bathroom for 30 minutes while i waited for some ativan to kick in. I got throught it, and it didn't escelate out of control, but I have to travel for work this summer and I am already worried I will have these moments while I am there. Any help or anyone have the same thing?

Looks like you're anxious about staying other places than home, therefore you have those anxieties and this might cause the panic attack and anxiety disorders when you're not home. There are some anxiety coping strategies that you could try, but I see you've got ativan (lorazepam-benzodiazepines?) prescribed from your doctor. Try not to worry about this too much, check for side effects of what you taking and maybe talk to your doctor as it might not be right for you?
?Take care,

Yes!! Me too!! Actually, my first panic attack happened when I was staying away with work. I know what this was now but at the time I actually thought that I was going to die. I'm very reluctant to sleep away from home as I feel safe there and also struggle to stay at home without my partner - I think that I'm worried that the same thing will happen and I won't cope without someone to talk me round. My councillor has suggested that I need to keep trying to stay away, at first with my partner or friends and gradually build up to staying somewhere close to home but on my own. She has said that the more you don't do something the more the fear can build up around doing it, like a vicious circle which makes sense.

It has been helpful for me to read your message. Over the past 8 years, I have often experienced great anxiety about sleeping away from home. It often makes me hesitate about travelling or making different plans. I have spent a lot of time being very judgemental towards myself and feeling alone in this fear. It has been a relief for me to know that I am not the only one.
