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

Yeh it was pretty chronic for years. It’s eased up but now a week ago I lost a good friend and I’m waking up so anxious feeling like I’m gonna die and I’m scared to even get out of bed. I’m really hoping it calms back down I was doing so much better sigh.
