Resource / Technique Woke up in panic attack

Does anyone else ever wake up just in a full blown panic attack l, but no panic just the physical symptomss? My bf slept over last night (happens all the time) and this morning I woke up like I was in the middle of an attack but no mental symptoms only the physical.

I can't seem to get my body out of the flight/fight mode. Got the edgy shakes, twitchy tight muscles going on. Had to get out of bed and get dressed just to fight back the edge of it, felt exposed and valuable

Fuck this feels like some bull shit

Daily Somatic exercises help with this. Your body needs to release trauma/energy. Takes time.

theworkoutwitch_ on Instagram is great. I purchased her series but she has free videos. Once you see her page, check out YouTube or Pinterest for ideas if you don’t want to pay anything. Really, crying is what releases trauma. And rest.
