Well, I've suffered from anxiety/depression all sorts of thing sall my life (I’m just twice your age), and I know the difference. When this has happened, I've just woken from a dream, and have felt calm and relaxed... it's a physical thing, not a mental or emotional one. For SURE.

My "vibrations" stopped, but I did wake up last monday freaked out because I couldn't breathe. *end of edit*
I'm 26 female. I have quit smoking over the past month- and they have actually stopped.
It it really makes me wonder if it's nicotine induced. Do you smoke? |
No, but I used to, when I was your age, and got the waking up without being able to breathe thing then! So there may well be a connection with that one. I stopped 18 years ago though.
