Hi :)
Im Bekki And Im 16, I Also Sometimes Get This, I Usally Wake Up At Silly Times, I Usually Get This Once A Year, And They Got Descriebed As Night Terrors, Iv Not Had One For A While,

To Calm My Self Down, I Get A Glass Of Water And A Cold Wet Towel, As Im Usually Overheating, And Put on my fav Dvd Or Read A Magazine, And Just Push Through The Panic, It Really Works

I may try that... thanks.

Hi Rashelle,
Same thing happened to me this morning. I know exactly how you feel. At least when you feel an attack coming on, you have a moment or two to react and get yourself ready for it. When you wake like that...all I can say is for me its like living in a nightmare. My have been coming every two to three days for the last month. Before that, I had not had an attack for almost a year. This new cycle has almost been entirely in the mornings upon waking. Believe me, I know how you feel. Beyond the sheer terror, it messes up my whole day. Even when I can calm myself down, I sleep through the rest of the day. Beat myself up for what I didn't get done and basically feel like I've had a whole day taken away from me. I really hope sharing my experience doesn't stress you out more, but I wanted you to know that you are not alone in this type of panic attack. I've learned from these boards that everyone experiences something different even though some of the symptoms maybe unique. You and I just drew the straw that we get them upon waking. My advice to you is seek help as soon as you can. Therepy has helped me stay sane. Xanax helps calm me during the attack myself and staying on this message board helps me feel like i'm doing at least something to take positive steps forward. I really hope this helps and again, always remember that you are not alone. 1000's of us are going through the same or similar as you and me. Hope your day gets better. Please contact me if you need any more support. You'll be in my thoughts. Chris

i had one of those before i had the most reallistic dream one time and after i woke up i was sweating and scared shitless the best thing to do is to drink some water and maybe sit outside for a while and not focus on what triggered the panic attack maybe listen to some soothing music for a while

I get that way too. most recently... I wake up out of a sound sleep I get hyper, scared to fall back to sleep, then I just get up... I also take xanac - sometimes it doesn't work, and then I start crying like craxy and it takes me acouple of hours to get myself together......
