Do These Symptoms Have a Name? Posted: 03-30-07 10:49am
IT STARTED WHEN I WAS FOURTEEN. IT
HAPPENED MAYBE ONCE OR TWICE A MONTH. ITS
WEIRD AND I NEED TO KNOW IF IT HAS A NAME
BECAUSE I DONT WANNA THINK IM CRAZY OR
SCHITZOPHRENIC. I'LL DESCRIBE ONE TIME ...
IM LAYING IN MY BED. TV ON. LIGHTS ON. I
DOZE OFF. NEXT THING I KNOW MY EYES OPEN.
I CANT MOVE. MY BODY WONT MOVE. MY FINGERS
CANT MOVE. I CANT TALK. MY MOUTH WONT OPEN
TO SCREAM. THE WHOLE TIME THIS IS
HAPPENING, I HAVE THIS OVERWHELMING
FEELING OF FEAR. FEAR AS IF IN ANY MOMENT
SOMEONE WILL COME IN MY ROOM AND STRANGLE
ME. OR FEAR THAT SOMEONE IS ALREADY IN
THERE. IT FEELS LIKE 3 HOURS BUT THIS
FEELING ONLY LASTS 45 SECONDS.
THIS REALLY HAPPENS TO ME. IM NOT CRAZY OR
ANYTHING. THE WEIRD PART IS, THE SMALLEST
MOVEMENT IN MY ROOM [SOMETHING FALLING OF
THE DRESSER, OR EVEN AN ITCH ON MY BODY]
ILL SNAP OUT OF IT AND EVERYTHING WILL BE
REGULAR AGAIN. I NEED TO KNOW WHAT THIS
IS. IT MAKES ME SCARED TO GO TO SLEEP AT
NIGHT, THEREFORE IM TIRED WHEN I GO TO
SCHOOL IN THE MORNING. IT HAS HAPPENED IN
SCHOOL ALSO. I HAVEN'T TOLD MY MOM OR
ANYBODY YET BECAUSE WHEN I DO COME TO HER
ABOUT IT, I WANT TO HAVE A NAME FOR THE
DISORDER. SO SHE KNOWS THAT I KNOW WHAT IM
TALKING ABOUT IS REAL.
AN ANSWER OR REPLY WILL BE GREATLY
APPRECIATED. THANK YOU ...

Hi Mommy Posted: 04-01-07 15:00pm
Sounds an awfully lot like an anxiety
attack to me........I am no professor on
this, but I do have a friend who finally
broke down and went to a Dr. She is now on
meds to control these "attacks". Please
talk to you Mother and explain what you
have posted here, you really should be
checked by a physican. These things do not
work out on their own! It may take time,
but with help you can take control ove
your life again and not have these
attacks! Hope I've at least offered some
reassurance!
