urgh this is horrible

[JosephG]

Haven't felt irrational anxiety for quite a while but I've been feeling it build for the past day or two. I'd feel (for no reason atall): Palpitations, sweating, hotflashes etc. So I kinda knew it was my anxiety. But it has all hit off tonight as I'm in bed. When I close my eyes to sleep my thoughts are racing, it feels like my thoughts can be completely illogical and not make sense to me and I find that very very scary. Like I'm going insane and losing my mind. I also feel very hot and sweatty and feel like I'm going to throw up. It's 2am and I want to get to sleep I want this to go away. Has anybody got any advice for me?
Does anybody experience anything like this? SOmetimes for no reason at all?

I have had panic before and honestly Idk what to say to make that stop just like laying there and your thoughts race is really what its like its like that scary. I think you be fine just have a smoke or whatch the tv or something.

thanks man. It wore off after like half an hour. But I didnt sleep until like 6am. Feel really dehydrated like im hungover aswell. Think I might have a fever which is going round which probably doesnt help.
It's so scary at the time D:

Yes, I totally understand. xD:: It is rare, I've maybe had periods like those about 5-8 times max in a year. It is almost always while I'm in bed. Probably cause I have nothing to distract me, I'm just staring at the ceiling, trapped in my own swirling thoughts. It's annoying and horrible.
I will start to think incredibly illogical things like you said, I'll try to keep it down, bottle it somewhere in a far corner. I try to cling onto that shred of logic (starting to sound like a poem or lyric lol) but I do. I hate acting out of the norm, I feel really scared and think I'm going crazy. But people say you're not really going crazy if you think you are... well, my thoughts just go round in circles and I'll fling myself up from bed when I really need to 'wake up' from my thoughts.
What helps me and makes me calm down, is thinking of what I used to be like in the past. What my life was like, my family, and that I was ok and normal in the past and I can still be like that now. Or maybe I am normal, I'm just clouded. Also, if I think of something really normal and trivial like work/chores that I'm supposed to do in the present, I can get out of the warp.
Anyways I hope this helped..somehow
