I'm terrified right now. Please tell me this is another anxiety related thing!
My anxiety causes me alot of insomnia, especially at night. But the depersonalization definately makes it worse. sometimes Im so in tune with my body I can feel myself falling asleep. I think its called the hynogogic (sp) state of sleep. Has anyone ever heard of this? It was made obvious tonight while I was going to sleep. I was thinking, and strange subconsios thoughts kept popping up as usual. But I was still consious. Then my husband startled me and asked if I was ok. I said yea why? He said I was breathing fast. It freaked me out because I could hear the fast breathing but thought it was the dog or something. I guess I was dreaming but thinking at the same time??? So now Im terrified to go back to sleep. Anyone else experience anything similar to this, sleep paralysis anything? I hate it. Now I feel like Im on the verge of a panic attack, which I havent had since March.
