The last couple of nights when I have woken up in the middle of the night I have sent myself into an anxiety attack. I somehow convince myself that someone is in the house. after than my heart races, my hands get numb, my breathing gets extremely light and I feel my chest tighten. I can not control these thoughts and its becoming unbearable. If I am left home alone at night I will not leave my room for anything because I am scared some one is outside my window watching me and waiting to come in.
Does anyone else have these thoughts? How should I deal with them??

I am older than you, 46, but I still have these types of things go through my mind. I believe you are stressed. Do you have a doctor, because this can help. There is medication that can lessen your stress very easily. I also recommend that you do not watch violent TV shows or music. Anything that will "get into your mind", is bad. Everything you do must be positive. I know it sounds boring, but this should help you. Are you worried about something? Find a doctor, I always believe that if someones family will not let them go to a doctor, this happened to me from time to time when I was in high school, call a doctors office and speak with the nurse, some doctors are very good. Keep your mind clean of bad things all day, so you are a bit fresher before you go to bed. Read for a few minutes before you sleep, a funny book, something like that. You are not alone. Have you ever heard of a group called, "To write love on your arms." Google them, you can call and they can help also.
