Anyone else awake at night full of fear and terror

I slept really badly last night. Maybe I was just worrying about my future, job prospects, a relationship that is going nowhere fast. I had all night panic attacks and was eventually able to calm down at 3 am with the help of some medication. Today I got up early to make sure I sleep tonight. I don't know if this is normal or related to my bipolar disorder and anxiety disorder. I am tapering and had already drunk 2 bottles of wine but it made no difference. I felt so alone and scared. Wondering if anyone else has experienced this?

Insomnia was pretty normal for me after I quit, but if you're drinking two bottles of wine of a night this might be a different thing?

I don't want to sound harsh but 2 bottles a night isn't really tapering...it's pretty much drinking - maybe not as much as you're used to, but still drinking.

I really think there has to be a better way to deal with your life than drinking.
Did you see your shrink?

No he only works half days on Fridays and then closes till Tuesday, He works at other clinics. I can call him on his mobile but try to leave that till absolute fullon emergencies. Don't really know what to do. I can ring Tuesday and hope he has a cancellation. Because I am only a bulk billing client I'm not high on his list of priorities.

Yes Sweetichick when I drank 2 bottles of wine a day, night time was a nightmare. Usually when my blood alcohol level started to drop, the anxiety and horror would set in

Yup. That's what happened to me when I drank. Even just one drink caused some level of it. When I don't drink I don't have that happen.
