really scared!
 

Hey
The last three nights in a row ive woken up at ten to five (i know freaky the exact same time everyday), im not sure what wakes me up but when i wake up im absolutely petrified, i dont even know why i just get really scared and nearlly end up having a panic attack. Ive not had any bad dreams or nightmares on these nights so imnot getting flasbacks and im not being woken by anything and hearing weird noises etc. So baically im waking up from a normal sleep for no reason and being unbelievably scared. I even have to go and check everythings locked, which takes me like half an hour to do because im too scared to get out of bad. I dont know what to do, anyone had the same thing or got any advice??

I've woken up before for no apparent reason petrified, or sometimes I wake up crying! Then normally with half an hour I fall back to sleep and wake up in the morning and everythings fine!!

So I know what it's like your not alone, however I'm afraid I don't have any advice for you

this happens to me too sometimes, i wake up suddenly and im shaking really badly. its scary and i hate it.
sorry no advise but your not alone!

Your not alone, maybe the unconscious is aware of something in that time making us act out that were not that aware of.
Also have you recently had any new medication? because when i was for anxiety the side affect caused me to wake up the same time early every morning suffering strong panic attacks. only early in the mornings and it stopped after a few days.

Thank you for the replies, its good to know im not alone. im not on new medication no. im hoping that it doesnt happen tonight, ive had a bad couple of months so maybe its just a bad reaction to that!! x x x
