Hi. I've been suffering from anxiety for almost 8 years,and I still suffer from it,in the worst way.My biggest problem now is that  while I'm sleeping i start feeling like I'm dyeing.I mean my body is sleeping but my brain or my soul (I don't know which one of them )woke up and I try to wake up but i can't ,it's like I'm in coma.I can't talk,open my eyes,move my body or nothing like that,,,I just can breath so deeply to make others understand that I'm in that situation.I'm aware of what is going on, but can not move.
Last night was the WORST nightmare ever.After two attacks i asked my mom to sleep with me,and she came.After an hour that i fall asleep ,I woke up spiritually but i couldn't take my mom's attention ,I knew she was sleeping too.Then i start breathing deeply to make her hear me,i tried,i tried,i tried a lot till my body just give up.Than everything start being like ''disapperance''and i thought I was dyeing ,than i prayed to God ''PLZ GOD LET ME SEE MY MOM'S FACE FOR THE LAST TIME'' :'( than my mom heard me and she started shaking me and calling my name to wake me up,she tried so many times and finally i woke up,crying .It was like i was back from the dead :'(.. and I'm scared to sleep again,I don't want to see that hell again and I have no a idea what i should do.I don't care if I die,I just don't want to feel those TERRIBLE feelings .May someone please tell me what's that?Am I dyeing ?

I've woken up paralyzed like that a few times before and know that intense fear that goes along with it. I did some research and found its a phenomenon called "Sleep paralysis". Our most vivid dreams tend to occur when we are in the REM (rapid eye movement) portion of our sleep. Our body paralyzes most of itself during this time so we do not act out on our dreams. Its possible for your mind/spirit to wake up during this portion of your sleep especially if you drank caffeine or took any other stimulants before sleeping. There is tons of information online about the subject. I've read hundreds of posts from people describing the same kind of thing you experienced. Most of them see bad spirits around them, too, making it even more terrifying.

On a positive note.... few months back I started waking up paralyzed a lot more often. I'd being dreaming then suddenly wake up in my bed paralyzed with a snake in my bed or a monkey or something you don't want near you when you sleep. The last time it happened to me, i woke up completely paralyzed but wasn't afraid this time because it happened to me enough that I know I'm going to wake up fine and wasn't fearful of my paralysis. This time I saw a golden glowing little angel like thing coming up to me in bed instead. If you wanna know more research Lucid Dreaming and Astral Projection. After reading hundreds of posts like this and from my own experience we can create whatever we want in that paralyzed dream state. Hopefully if that keeps happening to you, you can turn the nightmares into something amazing like I was lucky enough to.

My little brother had OCD and extreme anxiety like you do and I've spent most my life trying to cure him and studying how anxiety works. I'd do a lot more research of your own on serotonin and the pineal gland that creates it. There are many factors than cause serotonin to not work properly. Make sure to get enough sun because it helps nourish the pineal gland. I can feel my pineal gland when I look into the sun. Its in the center of our brain. Also, try to sleep on a regular schedule. Our pineal gland also controls our sleeping patterns... the Circadian Rhythm. Try to eat as many vegetables as possible and eat as many organic whole foods as possible. Chemicals and drugs are damaging to the pineal gland. Avoid these and mold at all costs. Hope this helps.

no your not dying, its our minds doing it to us. it was a nightmare and your ok.   I know anxiety can do many mean things and it changes all the time, funny thing is its our own mind doing it to us that's how powerful it is. we need to learn to control it and that's not easy. as I know , I am having anxiety myself right now , its ben a while since I had it so its like starting all over and its scary but we will be ok. I pry a lot to. we will get threw this gain and all will be ok
