fear of sleeping

I become so frightened during the period of time where I try to fall asleep that I simply do not do it. I find myself finding excuses to stay awake. It's not the sleep itself that scares me, it's the part where I lay in the dark and the silence. I'm afraid of all kinds of crazy things that don't bother me when I am not trying to sleep. I can't keep anything that is bothering me, any kinds of irrational fears, or any unusual superstitions out of my head.

t post it like 5 times or something this ghost girl would come kill me in the middle of the night and sleeping with someone made me feel safe but when i'm alone i feel unsecure i feel like i'm gonna die i just need tips on how to fall asleep other then crying myself to sleep cause that's usally what i do sometimes i feel like i need help but whenever i tell my mom she's no help she always said ghost's aren't real you shouldn't be on youtube but that doesn't help a

In the past few weeks Ive been feeling afraid while sleeping the fear of death keeps me awake. Ill feel tired and doze off but at some point usually between 2 and 4 am I wake up restless. I feel mild chest pain and always the feeling that my heart is going to stop. This is truley a teriifying experience and is hard to talk my mind out of. Ill change positions and sometimes that helps but as soon as I start to doze off again my mind will snap awake.

i have a fear of c-section as well. i just really dont want one, i want to be able to hold my baby after and bond. plus i have had hip problems since being born breech and my chiroprator said a vaginal delivery COULD fix my hip....aka they willl both spread so it is possible. I guess i just pray that i wont need one and that if i do its b/c the baby needed out!

I know you said that I have nothing to worry about, but all these symptoms coupled with the fact I slept in the semen and the fear it might have gone to my urethra or that because of oral ( fear of gums bleeding) just makes me extremely nervous. I've never had such symptoms until this incident. I should be happy my 7 week came out NEG but then all this new things keep popping up.

after that day i always get the same feeling 1-2 minutes before sleep. its like fear of losing sense of reality. i suppose it is ribavirin side effect, anyone had similar problem with sleep ?

I know you have heard this question before and deep inside I know the answer, but I'm still in fear or maybe guilt. About 2 months ago, I "cheated" on my bf, by kissing a co worker.. We saw each other 3 times and we deep kissed and he also fingered me a couple of times. that's all it happened..

What you descrive is a panic attack when you have this intense fear, then you become afraid of the fear and so on until it becomes a vicious circle. You came to the right place! You should browze a lot of these threads as you will quickly see that you are not alone in your fear and anxiety and you will perhaps learn from how others have coped with it.

I was masturbating with my pants on in a sleeping position and after ejaculation I squeezed my legs so that ejaculation don't go outside my pants. But after few minutes my sister came near me standing doing some of her work. She doesn't came close my pant but her clothes was touching my legs. Could she be pregnant if somehow some sperm touched her clothes and then touched her vagina.

I have actually had this happen. This was never a fear of mine until I experienced it and now I will freak out and even start crying if I even hear a buzzing near my ear. Kinda traumatizing. But do not fear the possibility of this actually napping is very low!! I'm just one of the unlucky ones lol. If by chance you do have this happen it is very easily and quickly fixed. Get yourself to the hospital and they will get it Out quick!

ve had a pretty bad fear of flying. This week a peer of mine gave me a few adderall to help focus on my work, which i feel helps a lot while the drug is active, but once it wheres off I immediately feel like I'm going to die and cry.

I was just wondering if anyone else has a fear of being alone and if that triggers anyone elses anxiety like it does me? When it comes time for bed for my boyfriend I always start feeling like **** and that dread feeling in my chest comes out as well as the shortness of breathe, because I know hes going to work in the morning and wont be here. I stay up.. like right now its 2:15am (hes been in bed since midnight) and wait till im so tired I have to sleep, even then I lay in bed for a while.

Little over a year I'd say. Well one day I was driving home and for no reason it felt like I was going to throw my heart rite up it started pounding and things started going black I was like this is the end I didn't no what to do went threw a bunch of tests they found nsvt. Then I thought I had cad and did for a long timed despite having an angio I still think I do. I read all the time about and how it can go from 0 plugged to 100 percent in less then a month.

Try to do something relaxing before you go to sleep, like take a bath. One of the standard pieces of advice is to get up if you haven't managed to fall asleep after 30 min, so that you don't worry about not sleeping, do something for a while, and then try again. I hope you get some good sleep soon!

Now I fear that what if microbat entered my room from that hole (half of my leg toe can get inside the hole) at night when I was sleeping. Everyday after waking up, I never saw a bat or anything. But still I’m scared what if the tiny microbat flew away after hitting me. This thoughts eat me up. Rabies vaccine here is very costly. Do you think I need to take vaccine ?

OK well I have ocd and intrusive thoughts and I have a lot of the symptoms for a personality disorder.... Now I have a fear of having one..... I'm scared I might be phsyco and do something violent! Please help!does anyone have any advice???

What helped me is i got a night light slept with that only one that flashes slowly so u get dark n light and u slowly ease out of that fear and while ur watching that night light shawdow on the wall think of something happy and funny till i fall asleep. And might i remind u saw, paranormal activity and whatever else u watched is all FAKE i wont happen to u not like that.

I have a lot of vivid dreams too and i'm constantly feeling tired but thats because I don't have a sleep pattern. Taking all of those sleeping tablets is not healthy for you and because you've been taking them for years you are now relying on them to help you sleep. I think that you should perhaps try reading before you try to sleep? stay relaxed and don't watch TV before bed.

I haven’t been “normal “ since my surgery. I’m scared to fall asleep. I’m afraid of sleeping. This has me nervous because I just want rest.

When sleeping the fear feeling comes, I wake up, and upon going back to sleep it continues, there is no reason for the fear factor in my mins when going to sleep. I wonder if it's part of my having had a Triple heart by pass in 2012 ?

There is no way you are going to get pregnant using a restroom. How old are you and how long has this fear of pregnancy been going on? Do you see a psychologist?

It was the fear of all of the above for me which is why I REALLY cant understand why I am virtually back where I started 2 yrs ago! I was clean for 5 weeks and then I just couldn't cope with no energy any longer!I was losing my job and I started using oxys again just to "get me through" I So So So want to be clean....thing is I haven't told ANYONE this time that I back using, feel like I let everyone down.....especially ME!
