To Scared to sleep
Posted , 4 users are following.
I have been up 31 hours cause i am afraid of going to sleep.I have tried on 2 separate occasions to try and fall asleep! I have this feeling of my heart stopping and my head getting all swimmy to the point i feel im going to black out but then i end up jerking up and my heart seems to be racing at a fast pace and im scared out of my mind..I feel if i sleep i am going to die! I suffer from panic anxiety disorder but its never been this bad before! Please can someone tell me what i should do?

I’m not a good sleeper either and I also get the feeling that my heart stops for a second. Mentioned it to the Dr who said that most definitely does not happen and more likely to be caused by anxiety. It did reassure me but it still happens from time to time. Know it’s strange but what I find helps is hugging a small cushion to your chest. Try not to worry ( hard I know) as sure it is anxiety based and once you are asleep everything calms down.

Hi Gamerrage,
This is part of your anxiety disorder. You need to go back to the doctor or therapist who is treating you for this and discuss this new development. Your heart is not stopping - if it had you'd already be dead and unable to post - and you're not going to die.
