When my mind is IDLE. Before bed. While driving (dangerous).
What about you?

i got them when
I used to get the majority of my attacks right before bed also. I even went so far as to thinking it was my bedroom and made my wife sleep out in the living room with me for two years. I used to drag out the matress every night and...no way was I able to go to sleep without the tv on.
I even used to think eating ice cream while watching documentaries caused panic attacks! I think back now and it just seems so funny. It sure wasn't back then. (my first attack was eating ice cream while watching a documentary.
It's so nice to have that behind me now. Lemme know if I can help in any way

The three times I would get them were:
1. Driving on the freeway in my dinky little car, surrounded by enormous trucks bearing down on me.
2. In public places after drinking coffee. I have a sensitivity to caffeine, which makes me dizzy and nauseous. I've even had to call the paramedics after one bad episode with java.
3. Lying in bed in the morning after a bad night's sleep, panicky thoughts of how I would take care of my baby/toddler without any sleep.
The last ones were so debilitating that I couldn't move for an hour, all of the panic symptoms swirling about unchecked.
My goodness, what an awful feeling. It's been several months since I suffered longterm, fullblown panic disorder - medically diagnosed and treated - so it's taken me this long to open up about it and be able to talk about it without starting to slip back into it. I've pushed it out of my head so much - so I wouldn't suffer it again - that I've almost forgotten how horrible it was! I had an article on GABA and anxiety that was receiving so many hits - I had no idea how widespread was this wretched disorder. Having found that out, I decided to step out and hopefully help people with my own experience.
If I can overcome such a debilitating syndrome, there is hope for many others. I should add that it wasn't only medical treatment that helped me get the disorder under control.
