Sleep & anxiety

[Guest guest]

I am having problems with severe anxiety at night after going to sleep.

I am awakened several times a night with these horrible surges of

anxiety that don't seem to be connected to anything. I get that sick

fearful feeling in the pit of my stomach & my hands get hot (weird). It

goes away if I get up & do something or walk around but when I go back

to sleep, even with a bit of Xanax, it comes back in an hour or so. I

get about 4 hours of sleep initially but then this starts & I get about

one hour or maybe two at a time from then on. And it's there first thing

in the morning. Once I get up & about my day, it goes away. Until the

next night.

Does this resonate with anyone?
