Night is still a problem .
I am able to control my anxiety all day long and thankfully I feel normal during the day. At night is when I feel like there’s something stuck in my throat and I keep trying to clear my throat, but it takes me a while to be able to sleep. I feel like this is the only thing that ruins my nights. I’m hoping I can get through it. I thought it was my cold, but I’m not sick anymore, so I don’t think it is. I’m just annoyed by not being able to relax at night because of my throat problem. I don’t even know if it’s like an allergy or something, but I’m scared to take allergy pills because ever since my only anxiety attack, some things have changed for me food wise. I can’t eat certain things anymore. Maybe I’m making it up in my head or something. I don’t know. Hopefully I get rid of this sooner than later.
I hope everyone is doing good. ❤️

I don’t have much in the way of help or advice, just solidarity. My anxiety always gets worse at night when I’m left to sit with my thoughts and can’t preoccupy myself elsewhere.

I feel like that happens to me too. All day I’m good since my family is with me, but when everyone sleeps, i feel like that’s when it starts. This sucks! Also, if you need someone to talk to, you can message me. Can’t promise I’ll be much help, but we can talk about random things.
I understand how frustrating and worrying it can be to have a sore throat at night. It is important to address your concerns and find ways to alleviate this problem. Consider consulting a healthcare professional who can help determine the underlying cause and provide appropriate guidance. They can determine if it is related to allergies or any other underlying factors. Remember that seeking proper medical advice will help you find a solution and bring you closer to restful sleep.

You're right. I will definitely go and seek professional help next week. Hopefully I do get the information I need. Thank you!

I think your thoughts are valid, please don't trip yourself into thinking that you're "making this up." It sounds like you're on the right path to confronting the problem, and from what you've said in your post, you've also made pretty significant progress during the daytime!
Nighttime is when my anxiety tends to strike too. I think it's because of a lack of stimuli! We're left alone in the dark with our own thoughts for hours, and the anxiety can only swell. What are some practices that you do to keep your anxiety in check during the day? Do you think those practices are feasible for before bedtime, too?
Thank you for opening up to us, and please feel free to update! We're happy to listen!

Hello dear member, this is Vaishnavi.
I hear how frustrating it is for you to experience discomfort in your throat at night, impacting your ability to relax and sleep. It's understandable that this is bothersome for you. Have you considered reaching out to a healthcare professional to discuss your symptoms and concerns? They may be able to provide insight and guidance on potential causes and solutions. Taking care of your well-being is important, and seeking support can help you find relief.

Thankfully it has stopped. Maybe because I would think about it too much and I shouldn’t have been doing that. I have been able to sleep lately. I’m so grateful I have been able to overcome it. I didn’t go to get it checked or anything. It just stopped when i stopped focusing on it.

Hello! I know you posted this a while ago, but I would be interested in hearing how you are doing now. It sounds like sleeping was an issue for you, and I hope you have gotten some relief from that ever since. Also, congratulations in feeling some control of your anxiety. That is a big step to take, and the journey to get there can be rough. I would also like to reassure you that it isn’t all in your head. Mental health battles are real and the symptoms are valid. Mental health issues can look different for everyone, and just because you think yours seems unusually, it is still completely valid and totally real.
I hope you have been doing well!

Thank you for your kind words. I am doing better. Sleep is not a problem anymore. My mind had gone to thinking food was a problem after i got over the sleeping thing. I wasn’t eating much, but I was able to overcome that too. I feel a little normal again. When i my brain starts panicking about something I just tell it that stuff that it’s scared of is stuff that I used to do before the panic attack i had. I remind it that all the stuff i used to do back then, never hurt me, so why would I be afraid of it? I’m learning little by little. Sometimes it takes me 2 weeks to get over something that’s bugging me, but other times it takes me a few days. Hopefully i keep controlling it and better days come. Thanks for checking up on me. ❤️
