What's happening to me?

[netminder1976]

All of these stories seem so familiar to me. I get the feeling better or almost normal at night and then wake up and feel terrified of being a person or like something is chasing me. It slowly diminishes throughout the day to only start over as soon as I wake up in the morning.

I know exactly how you feel too. I have suffered with it before but I am now 41 and it seems to be really bad on certain days. What makes it worse is that I have a little boy of 6 and I am so terrified of what will happen if anything happens to me. I feel really spaced out and like I am losing my mind. I keep thinking I have some kind of brain disorder. I am really frightened and then it seems to pass and I feel ok again for a few days or sometimes a couple of weeks.
