Due to me not sleeping at ALL lately. I now feel very dehydrated. So I drank a Gatorade today and got so tired immediately. I tried to go to sleep and it seems like the anxiety brings on this feeling of swollen glands. Good god I almost went to sleep…..I got melatonin. Im going to try it tonight….
this is insane
Thanks for the post neuro. This has helped me in so many ways. I have question?
Ok I had a set back yesterday
Ok yesterday I believe I had anxiety/panic attack in the afternoon just before going to work. What happened was that I wanted to get just some type of rest, not sleep, just before going to work. The day before I felt like I was getting less anxiety by breathing techniques and I knew it was working because I was finally able to get into the bed and not be scared lol. Breathing correct is what gave me that confidence. As I kay in bed I’m having all these dreams but I felt this unpleasant headache while in dream land and it scared me up…..and BOOM were back at full blown anxiety!!!! I felt crazy leaving the house and was thinking I need to call out of work. I just felt weird. But I went and my job is physical. Started working and felt fine.
When I get home I lay down, and pass out again for roughly 3 hours. Si I got up and I get a email from your forum that said “THIS IS ANXIETY WHAT YOUR GOING THREW”…..everything your going threw is the anxiety. Anxiety is what is doing this to you. . So I thought to myself that “this is anxiety” and when I get into the bed later in the night and I was comfortable again. So what do I do, I try to sleep. And kept telling myself this is anxiety while lying down, and this time I believed it. My whole body felt calm. The pain in my head came and gone. So then I start to feel myself drifting again. Dreams dreams dreams…..Its like I get flashes of dreams or something going on in my head. But I’m never able to sleep. Something is still fighting. I think I got a hour of rest I feel, but sleep…..Something is pulling me back. I know its the anxiety.
I’m feeling comfortable. Still feel the anxiety a bit when I’m up…..but do I just keep trying and eventually fall asleep? Is this how sleep usually tries to happens?
Quick update. Today I got a little sleep. Weirdest sleep of my life, but I believe I got some type of sleep..laid down at around 6pm and got up around 11..are my fears completely gone, no. Is the anxiety still there yes, but better I hope. Going threw this is making me want to find out more of what our bodies go threw…..
The sleep was so weird, because I still think im thinking to much, but trying to limit it. I knew I had to try to sleep because out of no where I felt this tiredness that just came out of no where. I have this light headed feel right now, but no other pains thank god….
Thanks
“I think that the “dream-like state” you were experiencing was stage 1 NREM sleep. The feeling of drifting is you being asleep, even though you don’t feel like you are”
I was hoping so bad that I would wake up later in the day. My anxiety is down a bit. And I think its because I had this small rest. Can this be a sign of healing? Breathing is what got me threw back then when I had the insomnia. I just forgot how. Seems now that I also forgot how to sleep. I also was at a sleep forum back then and had great help like your helping now. God how amazing is sleep. When your going threw something like this, and you see what’s really going on in the mind as you try to sleep, its trippy.
Whats your thoughts on store medications like zquil??? God I hope I can get threw this…..my family needs me
Thank you
Thanks for responding. This moment in my life is one of the most horrifying ive had to face in years.
Yes I had the Jolts. I remember that night I was eating like a pig and I decided to eat while in the bed (don’t judge me). I was a eating and watching a movie like a slob. All of a sudden while falling asleep I get this jolt that wakes me up. I also suffered from a nasty case of insomnia way back in 2010 I think. And that jolt made me instantly remember what happened back then. I think now its much worst, maybe.
Also you said something about brain tumor. Is this something you think I should bring up to my doctor??? Because right now im also dealing with a bad overgrowth bacteria stomach issue for a year now. Im taking antibiotics for this right now. God I hope it doesn’t dev into stomach cancer.
Can I ask. Since jan 26 three weeks ago ive have a case of severe insomnia. Its so bad and im desperate right now. Along with terrible anxiety, which is also at a all time high. Im going to see my doctor tomorrow to see what we can do. But I wanted to ask was. Your first night of sleep or rest, what did it feel like? Yesterday I think I had a small break threw I hope. I started to practice breathing and wow I think it helped. I laid down and I feel this sleepiness that hit for the first time in a while. But while trying to take advantage of this I tried to fall asleep. But it felt like I was in some kind of limbo mode. I felt like my body wanted to drift off, but for some reason it didn’t….did you get this experience on your comeback to sleep??
thanks
is this a good start to sleeping???
yesterday I did a few breathing techniques that really calmed me down. I mean it almost brought me to tears how good it felt. So I lay down to see if something good could happen, something good like sleep lol. And it wasn’t truly sleep, but I laid there at comfort for the first time. I was in some kind of dream like state. I guess I was drifting. When I got up I felt a bit refreshed. The anxiety is still there, but not so much pain on the body. Could this be a small break threw to sleeping again??? My focus is to get my anxiety down so ive been trying to relax breath as much as possible. Seems to be helping so far
I’m also at the edge. I’m scared now. this thing has hit me so bad that my brain feels damaged…..im gonna have to try sleeping pills for the first time I guess. no teas or anything has helped me. I feel like I’m dying. I went to work yesterday and I wanted to cry because everyone loves me there and it was hard just to smile back. I have a thick headache right now after failing trying to sleep……I think I got a lil rest yesterday after work. Possibly 5 hours (maybe)….im hoping I can go to work and try this again and see if I can finally pass out.
please god let us get threw this
