Dealing with High Stress and Anxiety

I’ve been dealing with a high amount of stress and anxiety lately and wake up every morning for the past week shaking. Has this happened to anyone else even when they are sleeping next to a partner?

I've had wakeup terrors for a while now. So definitely!

I know some people with ptsd actually benefit sleeping separately from they’re partner. It hasn’t made much of a difference for me. What has surprisingly helped was talking about the context of the night terrors in therapy. I was ashamed of them and grossed out by the thought of them and never thought something that simple could help. Don’t push yourself to a place you’re uncomfortable and I hope it gets better

I don’t remember any of my dreams or nightmares when I wake up. I have a feeling it’s stress or I am scared of something I just wish it would stop.

I've had that happen before. Something that helped me was journalling or meditating either right before and/or right after sleeping. Focusing on either emptying the bad from my mind or highlighting the positives before bed. Alternatively, when I wake up focusing on my dreams and how they connect to my thoughts and emotions or a few good things about the upcoming day.

I don't have a partner but a couple of nights this week, I've woken up having panic attacks. I know why, though. One night was because I was talking about my previous abusers the night before. The other time was because of my current abuser.
