i get panic attacks every single night before i fall a sleep !

i get so scared that my body hurts, actually HURT.

its not something new ive been experiencing panic attacks for few years now and it is always with a reason,

like having an exam, going some where, meeting people, i worry a lot , am i gonna be good?, is it gonna be ok?, am i gonna react to things in a healthy way?, then i over worry my self and i get panic attacks it lasts no more than 10 minutes and i do experience fear, heart beats fast and pain in my legs, body temperature drops and i have breathing problems but it doesnt last long all i need is to remind my self to breath slowly and deep or better breath in a bag and it goes a way.

lately ive been having panic attacks almost every night and it have something to do with night terror.

i have a fear from stuff that arent real !!

like demons and darkness !! you can laugh but its not funny

i cant have any sleep any more !!

i work hard, work out and i wake up early so i do need at least 7 hours sleep every day and i end up getting less than 4 hours sleep every night because of my panic attacks that last more than hours !!

i dont know what is it, but as soon as i go to bed i hear voices and i struggle to clarify it to either real or in my head !

then all sort of thoughts comes out of no where and attack my poor mind, i cant control the thoughts or stop it i either listen to it or just talk to it !!

then i start feeling as if there was something watching me, i feel if there was something hiding to hurt me and the voices say that something is in the dark waiting for me to fall a sleep to torture me in my dreams !

and when i finally fall a sleep after hours of mind struggle i sleep for an hour or 2 and wake up with another panic attack after having a bad night mare !

i either get shot and i see my self die, fall in a sea and got eating by a shark, hit by a car and watch my self bleed to death or i run a way from a dark shape that always chase me.!!

last night i got a panic attack after dreaming of this dark shape that looks almost like an animal, i watched my self a sleep and that thing came out of the curtains and climbed my bed and kept looking to me till i felt paralysed and i woke up so scared and it toke me a long while till i was able to breath even !!

so yes i have a fear from supernatural stuff and im not sure how to deal with it, i didnt care before but now it affecting me..

any idea how to deal with panic attacks !!

can i be schizophrenic or is that a normal paranoia or is this normal at all..!

without taking the meck i would really appreciate any advices/ info on how to controk panic attacks and get better sleep

you can get herbal tablets called "calms" , a friend of mine using them for panic attacks,

[B25]

As you know none of the dangers are real, why are you worrying. Take a couple of shots of whiskey or whatever just prior to bed then you won't worry about anything.

Alternatively, get your self a fella.

Sleeping pills and a comfort teddy?

Fig, it seems this problem is really bothering you. I suggest getting proffessional help rather then ask forum members for help. Good luck.

[apc2010]

have you tried going to bed/sleep with tv or radio on , something to take your mind off your fears ....

[vaughanwilliams]

You need help and you won't find it here.

thanks all, i thought if someone had experience this kind of panic attacks it would be helpful for me to know how they control it.

i used to sleep with tablets but i wake up really tired and so dehydrated so i dont take them any more!

some times i read/listen to music or leave the t.v or radio on but it doesnt help.

i know my fear is pretty silly and i know its not real, but i cant control how it feels real to me at night !!

ive even tried to pray / sleep with a cross as if the demons were true they wont hurt me.. i sound mad

i dont wanna go to a psychologist to give me some more meds that wont help.. do u think there is herbs that make u fall a sleep!!

is there is anything natural to take..

and really how to get over ur fear !!!

[paliometoxo]

your over thinking things, you just have to relax and not try not think of the next day what ever your going to do thats making you think and make you nervous. there are herbal pills for sleep but they dont do anything especially if your used to taking the chemicals and you need 4 of them and that does not help. if your over thinking things that much..

and when you have nothing to do the next day your ok?

Hi Fig,

I have had similar in the past and found a bit of meditation helps - it will take time to work but stick with it - otherwise do seek professional help.
