I’ve been a very anxious person all my life and recently sleeping has been as close to impossible (and feels like torture). 

Every time My eyes are closing I jump out of the bed feeling like I am dying or that I’m having a heart attack. I’ll be short of breathe or my heart rate will be high and I’ll feel heavy. Regardless, it feels like every night I am doomed and the sensations I get never feel the same so it always feels new and terrifying. I’m very fortunate I’m in good health but These sleepless nights are wrecking me. 

I’m just trying to sleep but idk if I’ll be able. Pls help
