Oh man I need some help here. I don't
understand what is happening to me. I
have this problem with sleeping, the whole
thing is a problem, going to sleep staying
asleep and waking up. It's terrible, it
tares me apart, see the problem is the
twisted loss of reality the minute a get
into my bed and everything after that. It
happens usually the second I turn the
light off. I will get into bed and try to
sleep,then after about 2 minutes weird
stuff starts to happen, it's like I feel
like i'm sliping away everytime I go to
sleep. My eyes play tricks on me or at
the moment I hope that is whats going on.
I see simply things like my coat hanging
up on the door and then my eyes will go
out of focus and the coat looks like some
kind a robber or someone who's going to
attack me. I'm 18 I know this isn't
supposed to be happening to me. The
problem isn't that all this weird stuff is
happening it's the paranoid thoughts of
things I relate to what might be causing
them.
Along time ago I went
depressed and suicidal and overdosed and
all that stupid stuff, I took alot of
sleeping pills 50 to be exact (they were
supposed to be strong prescibed)..
Anyways after that I was put on school
medical leave and was home alone alot,
started to remember the feeling the
sleeping pills brought me and then I got
stupid again and started a abuse on the
sleeping pills, I actually liked the way
the sleeping pills made me feel, I took
like 15 to 20 at sometimes for weeks, just
to feel that feeling of out of body. But
that was along time ago. Now the thing
thats driving me crazy is that everytime I
go to sleep now, I feel that feeling of
being overdosed, panicy, confused, and
fugged. It's like my mind is telling me
something is wrong and something bad is
going to happen but I know nothing is
going to happen...It keeps getting worse
and worse everytime and now its got to a
point where I wake up with stiff back
pains and sharp pains in my head...
This is bad because i'm trying to get
into the medical field, im starting my
paramedics class on the 31, can anyone
help me with this .. ???

It seems like the sleeping pills are the
cause of your paranoia at sleep. U see a
psichiatrist or a neurologist?

I used to see a pyschcia.., but it's been
awhile, it's hard because I can't get
around alot and i'm so tired all the time
from my sleep problems, but I guess I
should see one then, I was supposed to get
an eeg last month but I couldn't get
anybody to take me. So I guess i'm all
twisted up. Just need a hand once in a
while..

Acupuncture helped me with my sleep
disturbances! I know it is difficult but
I would lay of the coffee as much as
possible. Sometimes after ingesting a
lot of drugs our organs have a tough time
catching up!... Yikes I know the
feeling... Healing with whole food's by
paul pichford has helped me and my friends
tremendously... It is a wonderful
reference! Cheers

Being really tired can also be a problem.
When I am really tired sometimes I fall
asleep and feel like my dream is real and
I am trying to scream and cant get up or
move and I will dream I fall of the bed
and try to crawl out to find someone to
help me wake up. That happens when im
really tired and I dont want to go to
sleep when im that tired because I know it
is going to happen. Anyway, it also seems
you have some type of fear or emotional
problem along with it.

I agree.. Sounds like the sleeping pills
are the source of your paranoia. I know
it's hard, but can someone be in the room
with you to reassure you while you sleep?
If not, maybe sleep earlier, lik 6 while
its still light, and keep the lights on or
something. Take it from me, my cousin had
the exact same problem, he abused sleping
pills and it's hell for him to get to
sleep. I'm sorry I couldn't be of more
help. :(

Ya I think you need to see a psichiatrist
immediately.
Its better to be late than to be sorry.
The condition you have stated does seem
quite comlicated and not something normal
people are expected experience in their
normal lives. So instead of posting here
go and seek professional help.
