It’s never happened to me before like this, but I have always had sleeping problems since I was a small child starting at about 4 or 5 years of age. But nothing like this.
For the last 5 weeks or so, I have been having mini panic/fear attacks about falling asleep, going to bed, etc..anything that requires sleeping.
I get really freaked out and panicky about sleeping and then it turns to me, starting to get panicky and freaked out that I wont sleep at all, then I don’t sleep and I end up staying up for 24hrs to 72hrs due to these panic/fear attacks to the point I just am so tired, I just fall asleep when I close my eyes for a long period.
When I try closing my eyes at bedtime for long periods, I just end up lying in bed all night with my mind rapidly racing and its like I cant control my thoughts, grasp them anything, and that they keep racing, keeping me awake, cause my mind wont literally “shut up” as I call it.
And this has caused me to see and hear things. Which adds on more panic/fear.
Why has it started all of a sudden and so outta the blue, for no reason I can think of. And there’s absolutely no stress in my life to trigger any type of psychosis episode. None. Zip. Zero. Nilch.
(Please note, I have been told by my Psychiatrists (I have 2, for some weird reason) that I have the early stages of Schizophrenia, with mild depression and severe anxiety, and I am on Seroquel 100 mgs, which i take daily before bedtime and I’m also on 2 mgs twice daily of Risperidone. And it suppose to help me fall asleep and stay asleep for a period of time, but I still have sleep disturbances)
I really don’t know why I have this happening to me. And I really don’t know what to do to make myself relax, cause when I attempt at all it just makes it worse.
