Can't sleep

Post Reply New Topic

It's been a while since i've been on. I was haveing issues with my epilepsy. Sorry but i'm back.
On topic though. I used to have nightmares all the time but i thought they were gone. I keep thinking shaddow people are gonna jump out and attack me. I get up and check the windows and doors about 6 or 7 times a night. Whenever I do fall asleep i wake up ever few hours and have to make sure no one broke in. I used to be ok in the dark but now every shaddow freaks me out. I am going crazy and don't know what to do. I keep feeling like i'm being watched and won't go outside without my sister or roommate. I keep thinking my aunt or ex is gonna come back and go after me and my brothers again. What can I do? I am going insain.

I had some similiar problems for many years and they tended to worsen with time. I improved greatly with anti-anxiety medication. I feel much like normal now and have been for a least 5 years since starting the med. I am on a lower dosage and when things get really anxiety causing I can talk a larger dose for a day or so. Perhaps you can talk to your doctor about it. I don't think meds are the answer to everything, but they do work quite well in certain cases and I believe yours has an excellent chance or improvement.
