hi Aranha,

dont think that those thoughts that cause the attack are silly, they are not. its just part of the disorder. i know the exact feeling your describing and it is extremely scary! my panic attacks would keep me awake at night also. it was terrible.

id recomend going to see a therapist to find out whats causing this to happen, and in the mean time, talk to your doctor about some medication. being on medication for anxiety and panic attacks helped me so much, i felt like a whole different person.

until you can do those things, try to relax about an hour before you go to bed. take a bath, do alot of deep breathing, do yoga, anything to help you calm down. and this may sound really really stupid but it helped me so much once. about 3 years ago when my anxiety was severe, i was trying to go to sleep once and i was on the verge of a panic attack. everytime a weird thought would come into my head, i pictured this cute little elf dancing around and really focused on it, and it made my thoughts go away.

its a really hard thing to deal with and live with everyday, believe me i know. get to a doctor asap and ask about medication. you cant keep letting this interrupt your life and schoolwork anymore! if it happens again try visualizing something peaceful or happy, hopefully that will help.

good luck, let me know what happens!
