To think you can feel events

[outofmydepth45]

I'm awake, don't know why.

Do you ever wake up very alert and uneasy? I've had to check my children are all safe in their beds.

As this is AIBU I'll phrase this as AIBU to think you can know instinctively something bad has happened?

Alternatively why is my brain waking me up when every other fucker is asleep and I've had disrupted sleep (due to children) all week!

Sounds like anxiety.

Thank you Thisis, looking at the NHS list, that could very easily explain why I sometimes think I am going mad.

Suspect lack of sleep is causing a catch 22 !

A sort of skin prickling experience? I definitely know what you mean, it usually takes a cup of tea to calm down!

I've only woken early this morning but I've had that sensation before. Hope you can get a bit more sleep soon.

I know what you mean OP and it can certainly be general anxiety but I have also experienced numerous unsettled periods only to then discover something has gone wrong either in my locality or with someone I know.

Yes definitely anxiety - I'm a sufferer too, it's far worse now my children are on the planet and also
Since my parents died, have that realisation that nothing's forever .... but it's fine, it's just controlling those feelings

Don't ever dismiss that freeling mine has never been wrong . When my youngest was born he nearly died got blue lighted to a grade 3 neonatal intensive care hospital when he was born. I was staying at a hotel on site. One morning when dps parents where coming to meet him for the first time I was getting ready to go up to the unit to meet them there and just before I went I read my local news website and read about an old lady being hit by a car outside the coop and dying instantly. Had this horrific feeling tingly skin and oddly thought my nanna straight away. An hour later just getting up to the unit go to walk in and before I get buzzed in get a phone call off my mum. Was In fact my nanna who had been hit by the car. I often get these gut horrible anxious feelings and never generally wrong
