Hey everybody, wanted to see if anyone else had the same experience as me and, if so, what you've done about it.
Almost every morning I wake up way before my alarm (usually set for 6:30 but I'll get up at like 5:00) to go to the bathroom or something and, not only can I not fall back asleep but I hyperventilate. I thrash around in bed having a panic attack of sorts. My breathing gets all weird and I alternate between wanting to cry (often I do) and puke (has happened once or twice).
Has this happened to any of you? If so, what helped? I know I need to get back into breathing methods (I can certainly Google some but if you have any that work for you, I'm all ears) and maybe change up my nighttime med mix (currently Lithium + Seroquel)...
