Hi Everyone,
New to this forum and wondering if anyone else has experienced this and if you have any solutions for me?
My sleepwalking is out of control! Every night 2-4 times a night and on going for years, at least 5 years now but have been a sleepwalker my whole life but its been the last 5 years that its taking over my life and the other night I really hurt myself and I don't know what else I can do to prevent or stop myself.
I try do meditation, mindfulness and I also see a psychologist.
Every night when I sleepwalk I know I am dong it, I cant seem to stop myself but it seems to happen within the first hour of falling asleep which I believe is the REM sleep. Its like I am convinced something is happening and I am so scared, mostly I wake up thinking I am going to die or the house is going to blow up and I have to get out of the house!
The last 2 weeks every night I wake up sleepwalking and every night its counting down to a date that I am going to die, there is something I can do to stop it but I don't know what exactly that is but it has something to do with the roof of the house and I am worried I will climb the roof one night.
2 nights ago I woke up and ran to the office in our house and opened the window and jumped out which is nearly 2 metres off the ground as I believed the house was going to blow up! Not once but I did this 2 times in the one night.... The back of my leg is so bruised and black. I stood in the back yard starring up into the sky waiting for the house to blow up. There is also a door that leads outside near this room but both times I jumped out a window?
For the last 5 years its always the same, instantly waking up and 100% believing that I am going to die, that's the kids are going to die, the house will blow up, electrical issues that will cause death. I remember the next day exactly what I did, my eyes are open, I'm fully aware but I think that these things are happening.
Does anyone have any advise for me, I go to the Drs quite often and they don't really know what to do. Ive also been to a sleep clinic which was inconclusive as that nigh I didn't sleepwalk.
Thanks
