Yes yes yes! The worst part is that when I'm not anxious (extremely rare) I feel anxious because it's such a foreign feeling! It's a catch 21 or 22 I cant remember which

YES. There was a period of time I was deathly afraid of going to sleep because I would wake up in the middle of having anxiety and/or panic attacks.

Yes! Especially in the beginning after being diagnosed. Just had to find what calmed me during the attack (pets) and got to them for comfort.

I feel like it’s gotta be a thing! I deal with this too, anxiety can get so scary and make you want to avoid triggers at all costs.
