Hello everybody.
I`m so frustrated! I had one more sleepless night and that`s because I thought I felt okay last night and I decided not to take any sleeping aid. Which ended up in having panic attacks while sleeping - or semisleeping. I hate those, there`s nothing you can do about them, it seems they take place outside conscious awareness.
This situation has been happening for three years. Can you believe that? Three years! Haven`t been able to get to sleep without meds. And each time I try to sleep without them it gets ugly!
On the other hand, I have been reading articles about sleeping pills that they are dangerous and can cause death which increased my health anxiety. Yup, I got that also.
A funny thing happened to me this morning. I had a meeting in the morning, which I of course forgot as I was in bed sleeping - forgot to mention that when morning comes, the anxiety goes away - and the guy called to ask what happened and I didn`t show up and since I was confused I started calling him `hey love, sorry I`m sleeping, I got a rough night ` How embarrassing that was.
Is there anyone else who experiences anxiety while sleeping?
Take care!
