Hey guys, I've posted in other forums about this too but I need reassurance (unfortunately) because I'm now convinced I'm going to die.
For the past 4 or 5 nights in a row I've only slept 3 hours. I've gotten such a terrible sleep anxiety and whenever it feels like I'm about to fall asleep, my body jolts awake. Before this week, I still had insomnia but was getting 6 hours sleep once in awhile so things were better. With this 3 hour a night stuff, I'm actually worried I'm going to die. Can this kill me? I called into work today, not only because I'm exhausted but also becsuse I'm in bed paralyzed with fear that if I get up my body is going to collapse or something. What if I just pass out randomly?? I'm so afraid of death right now guys and I know this isn't really rational but ive never gotten this little sleep before and I just don't know what's going to happen to me!
I've tried drugs, dark room, no electronics, melatonin, sleepy time tea, ear plugs, eye mask, meditation, progressive muscle relaxation, and I'm seeing a therapist. Idk what to do!!!!
