Ok, this is an odd one...
Hey everyone! I've noticed different symptoms come and go, it's like one comes, I obsess about it for a while, it goes away and I'm afraid of something else...my newest frea is SLEEPING, I don't know if anyone has ever heard this one before lol but it's like, I've become afraid of being unconscious, and the thing is, it's not that I'm afraid that if I go to sleep I won't wake up, I know that I will, it's just sleeping itself, the idea that or bodies can fall unconscious without us being able to stop it or know it...please tell me I'm not losing it, has anyone at least thought of this> lol But for some reason, I'm not fraid of falling sleep in the daytime, how weird is THAT?
totally not weird at all. it's just part of this thing we are all going through. i have noticed the sme thing with myself. for awhile i couldn't drive. once i conquered that something else would bother me. now i have a fear of needles. they NEVER used to bother me. just try to laugh at yourself and say "alright, i've been sleeping everynight my whole life. everyone does it, it's natural and my body requires it. i know this is an irrational fear and i know i'm going to be ok." also, ty a night light if it helps since you don't mind sleeping during the day. don't worry, you're not losing it.
