I’ve had this problem on and off for years, its really scary and upsetting. I wake up screaming, usually a piercing horrible scream. I’m terrified but don’t know why. Sometimes I get out of bed and run to the opposite side of the room. Last night I ran upstairs. (My room is upstairs).

I’ve woken up before screaming convinced someone was in my room, and I once got up, turned on the light and walked to the mirror and pulled at my face. I woke up terrified.

These episodes seem to happen when I’m at my most anxious. I was wondering if anyone has experienced anything similar? It’s really frightening
