I'm agoraphobic and social phobic (especially when it comes to the doctors/hospitals), and if I wasn't then the first thing i'd do is contact them but i'm too frightend.
I dream every night, and I'm one of those people that will feel pain when i'm asleep so if i have stomach cramps in real life they will just apprear in my dream.
Now i've started having sensations where i cannot breathe where i'm asleep, i'll just be having a normal dream like for example, dreaming i'm sat on a beach when all of a sudden i just cant breathe in or out, it's awful because I know i cant breathe, i know i have to wake up and i think i'm going to die, then when i do eventually wake up i'm gasping for air and my heart is pounding really fast.
Ive heard and read alot about this kind of thing, but NEVER that people actually know they cannot breathe, it's always the persons partner will find out first because they stop breathing, but to know it is actually happening and feel and live every second of it is terrifying and even worse that i cant find any reassurance from any one that they actually feel it too. I feel so alone, i'm so frightend that i'll die in my sleep but be very aware of what it going on.
Everything i've read says you need to go to hospital which i just cannot do, its stressing me out so much, and i'm having panic attacks and getting so upset.
