I have suffered with this since I was really young- maybe 10 years old.
I think I am having episodes at the moment due to lack of sleep (toddler!) I never have the whole 'demon' thing. But I feel like I am dying?
Tonight it was this horrid feeling where I was obviously in that mid state, but my brain couldn't quite work out what was going on; I was laying in bed (as I am) but I was trying to get up to look at phone/have a drink. But I just couldn't do it. And then I thought I had done it but I hadn't as I was still 'asleep'. I don't even know if that makes sense!?
Then I finally woke up and reached for my drink and phone. And here I am now.
I was actually thinking while it was happening 'am I dead?' It is such a horrid feeling and sends my anxiety through the roof.
Has anyone any tips? I don't want to fall back to sleep now as I'm so anxious of it happening again. I know probably being on my phone is the worst thing but I just need to look at something to take my mind off of it.
It's a horrid panicky feeling- hope someone else can relate.
