I remember I had this phobia-that with a combination of derealization and ptsd. I remember it led me to getting frequent anxiety attacks which in turn would lead me to calling 911 several times. I remember how scary it was to close my eyes and feel like I was going to die. So what I would do is play a movie in the background on moderate volume, play music videos on my phone, shake my leg with my eyes closed to help me go to sleep, etcetera. And if that wouldn’t work, I’d sometimes black out and wake up thankful I survived another night with that phobia.
You literally described my life, as of now! I black out and wake up thankful and relived! The only thing that’s helping me get through this is reading about other peoples experiences. I’m going to be honest… this began happening, the night after I was released from the hospital, after eating a gummy with marijuana in it. I would do anything to reverse time and decline the offer of that gummy.
This is happening to me after a gummy too. Except I took it twice, one week apart each time, and now I have this constant fear I'm going to die but it happens always always always at night (randomly in a day, but ALWAYS when I am trying to sleep). Got only 3.5 hours last night. :( Has yours passed? Did you do anything specific?@@DP-in8nw
@@DP-in8nwI’m experiencing this fear of death during sleep too after I was discharged from the hospital, but it is because I had the influenza and shortness of breath :( It was because I visited my family in another city and my sis was sick so I got infected by her. I would do ANYTHING as well to just go back in time and prevent myself from visiting my fam
Close your eyes and count 100 backwards. It will make your mind think and take it off of the other things. Keep doing this until you fall asleep. Prayers
I’m not deathly afraid just so afraid where I just don’t fall asleep causing anxiety and basically going insane but still fighting it every chance I get
Omg I was just a minute ago and yesterday was thinking about this I was scared that if I went to sleep I’m not gonna wake up again 😂 I love sleeping but this always lingers in my mind that something bad is going to happen while I’m sleeping
I have horrific anxiety, adhd and autism which all causes sleeping issues but I also have a phobia for dreams which caused my somniphobia a example is rn its 4am and I haven't slept all night im even forcing my self to try but I just can't due to how much anxiety I get about just sleeping
I can't sleep in silence and alone but I sleep very well even in day when they is some noise and familiar people are around. What kind of phobia is this?
What helped me was therapy and prescribed medication. Reason for this was because I would have extreme nightmares which didn't help because I tend to get anxious and paranoid at nighttime due to PTSD, and severe anxiety so having nightmares didn't help and I would force myself to stay awake almost every night. What also helps is listening to some music to help relax you a bit and slowly guide you to sleep
I have this phobia cause I wonder when I sleep where do we go or like how long would I be asleep and its just overwhelming to think those things when I’m trying to sleep
I have so many horrible nightmares that I have somniphobia one time I'm pretty sure I died in real life I knew it was a nightmare and I was screaming and there was no sound and I couldn't wake up seriously I think I died in my sleep it was creepy and the main scary part of the nightmare was the fog around my house with shadows and they were whispering to me like they were warning me of something in real life but I hate how real my dreams are I know every time that I'm dreaming but they are so real and it's scary to have nightmares
i started getting the *afraidofsleeping* cuz i had sleep paralysis and a nightmare that litrally made me woke up with my heart beating loud and thinking that the skinwalker is in my room 😮
I have the fear because every time I go to bed I have these Erie dreams that have demons spirits creepy places but every time I have them I’m in a place I know like my house or my grandmas house but they are all different everywhere I go is different a lot of the times my parents are there and other people I forgot but every time I cry in them they give me a fear of sleeping every night so I hope it will stop ♡
I actually think I may have somniphobia although I am still unsure. Im technically diagnosed with PTSD, but I dont know if I really have it since I don't ever really have nightmares or flashbacks. I think I just have basic trauma responses and triggers. Other than that though I have developed this anxiety around sleep. The fear is more of falling asleep than actually being asleep though. I get so anxious around bedtime and usually I end up using my phone late into the night until I feel like Im going to pass out like Im doing right now. I dont know why Im so scared and if you asked why I was scared I couldnt tell you, but I just get this feeling of dread when I get tired and have to sleep. I also think I may have insomnia because even before I developed this fear of falling asleep I couldn't fall asleep. I would lay in bed feeling tired, but unable to fall asleep. I don't know whats wrong with me as far as that all goes, but I am getting back into therapy soon so I guess I'll talk to my new therapist about it all.
I am scared of dreaming as most of them are really creepy and I try to wake up but it never works and then sometimes idk what it's called but I almost get stuck in a loop 🔁 basically u feel that u have woken up and u r back to reality and it keeps on happening when u try to wake up u land flat on ur back again in the bed like u just woke up but u r still dreaming and omg it freaks me out as it seems like there is no end and people still ask why don't u sleep the worst thing is some times u can be “playing this game” for so long and normally I get tricked into thinking it's reality and start walking around BUT it's very different the inside of the “house” and just my room is the same and most of the time the rooms are full of disturbing things YET my mum says u r being dramatic
I have a fear of nights something kinda close to this i get scared at night and cant sleep i fear that i will die if i fell asleep that someone aor something will kill me
I have a weid fear lemme tell story so i was in class lining up for P.E and someone was sick on the floor me panicking alot i was crying bc im scared of sick yea when im sick i just cry the whole time idk what u call me phobia and im scared of getting kiddnapped and people staring st me like i sleep with this one teddy i turn i aroud when i sleeep if i try sleep loking at wall all me hairs on je neck stick up

I’m afraid to fall asleep because I keep forgetting to breathe and I wake up with my heart pounding thinking it’s not pumping blood through me

I knew it was a nightmare and I was screaming and there was no sound and I couldn't wake up

and the main scary part of the nightmare was the fog around my house with shadows and they were whispering to me
like they were warning me of something in real life
but I hate how real my dreams are
I know every time that I'm dreaming but they are so real and it's scary to have nightmares
