The Fear and Anxiety to go to sleep.
This was most probably the worst part of my anxiety. I was literally scared to go to sleep. The fear of knowing that you are going to wake up in the middle of the night because of your feelings of fear and worry made the problem worse.
A memory or thought comes up that causes my stomach to clench or a chill to run down my spine. Some nights, my mind races, and my heart races along with it, my body so electrified with energy that I can barely sleep. Other nights, I am so tired that you fall asleep right away. I wake up the next morning still feeling exhausted and spend most of the day in bed.
My mind still racing. Did not even stop. Ready to go on where he left off just before I dozed off.
Feeling nervous, restless, or tense every second of the day.
Even if you are doing activities where you are supposed to relax and having fun, I was feeling nervous and restless. A weekend away to relax, I came back more tired than what I was before the weekend.
Having a sense of impending danger, panic, or doom
I was always expecting something bad is going to happen to me. I could not put my finger on it, but it felt if somebody is going to call me and telling me the worst happened to me.
