During the night before a big day, do you feel anxious or have a panic/anxiety-attacks?

Question

A big-day could be... the first-day of work, the first-day of school, etc.

I am just curious to know... if possible, describe your symptoms to me? Thanks!

Answer 1

I may feel some excitement, or some dread, or some worry that I may not be able to learn quickly enough, but it is not an intense feeling, and I have no problems sleeping the night before a new job.

No, I do not get panic attacks when anticipating a big day.

Answer 2

ha oh yeah.

especially the first day of school.

i was so anxious that something bad was going to happen. like i was going to pass out, i had uncontrolled breathing.

but usually it only happens the day before. im usually just fine when i actually have to do the thing.

Answer 3

I find it difficult to sleep the night before, is that what you mean?  Sometimes I will finally go to sleep only to have nightmares about being late to my first day of work or school or whatever........

Answer 4

Yes i do,

i often feel like I'm spinning on an office chair when i shut my eyes and i feel as though i could go into a panic attack because i'm anxious and night time is when i think about things.

Answer 5

Answer 6

OH YA...Though It usually happens in the morning. I panic like crazy and I even cry sometimes. I don't know why...:D  

Answer 7
