Anxiety attacks while sleeping

In the last two weeks our therapists have answered 211 queries related to mental health.

I have been very stressed recently. My anxiety attacks started during the COVID lockdown and initially I brushed it off as a by product of draining times. Now they've gotten so bad that I wake up panicked and anxious almost every other night. I feel hopeless about my future and it's taking over my life.

Hi, I think you should figure out firstly what's causing your anxiety. You mentioned that you are hopeless about your future, but what exactly is making you lose hope? Detecting the cause might help you make positive changes.

The lockdown has been hard on all of us. You must be having a hard time getting enough sleep and that's going to worsen your anxiety so try to take naps when you can. Personally, calm music at night makes it easier for me to have better sleep. Hope you can get through this quick.
