What do you do when you wake in a panic in the middle of the night?

Turn on the lights
Take panic attack meds
Talk to someone to ground myself
Pet my dog
Turn on a kid’s movie

I kinda pray? Not really though, i just kinda talk to "God", whoever that may be. It calms me somehow.

I don't even remember when did that happen to me the last time. I used to have it as a kid regularly but it stopped. Now I do have bad dreams but I don't panic, even if something really bad happens in them.

I watch something funny/mind numbing on Netflix to distract myself

The only one time was a nightmare about being still married to my first one.

oh I love to panic. I panic some more.

I cry

The first thing I do is orient myself by looking at my favorite stuff that I keep in my room.
