booo. Woke up with my heart pumping and feeling anxious. I guess I need to start actively incorporating relaxation techniques again.
Hugs.
I'm sorry you're going through alot of shit right now.
One thing I like to do to de-stress is to write things down. Lists upon list. Mark things off. Add things. It helps to declutter my mind while actively getting things done.
I hope you find solutions to your troubles โฅ
I've been there, ugh. Gentle hugs. I used to wake up around 1:30-2am with my heart pounding and in the midst of a panic attack. For some reason it helped me to ask myself, "what exactly am I anxious about and can I do anything about it right now?" It's an awful feeling for sure.
Edit: for clarity.
Added fun if you're afab: if you have no stressors you're aware of, go see a doctor. Feelings of dread and heart racing can be indicative of cardio problems, we present differently to amabs
