AM I PARANOID?? I CANT SLEEP UNLESS I TAKE SLEEPING PILLS, WHEN I DO SLEEP I HAVE NIGHT MARES?

I'm very paranoid, I can't sleep, unless I take sleeping pills, and if don't take them, I'm scare to fall sleep and wake up in a fire with my house burning and not being able to save my daughter who sleeps in the room next to me, I hear noises all night and go downstairs to check that no one is intruding in the house, I usually sit in my living room with a knife because I think some one might brake into my house, I started working out at night instead of the morning, so that way I'll be beat at night and just fall sleep, but I just can't, and every night I have night mares, or sexual dreams, that end up in a bad or hurtful situation, I dream about some one I love very much rejecting me. Am I going crazy??? i I used to be in the military and just got out last December because my husband didn't want me to re-enlist, I didn't want to get out, I like being home with my daughter, even though I'm in school, and my husband works, not working anymore makes me feel insecure,I'm afraid if I talk to a doctor he/she will put me on pills or something, and take me I'm not fit to take care of my child. I Also hate when people approach me from behind or surprise



sounds like you just need to relax .. switch your coffee to tea..


get a dream catcher.. it helped me.. or just the thought of it did lol and try sleeping with earplugs.. at least if house is on fire you'll be able to wake up lol.. sleeping pills are very bad and addictive you shouldn't take them. an hour before bed time lock your doors put the knife away.. relax read a boring book, leave your work out for the morning because that could make you over tired.. don't eat or drink anything with sugar.. get on a bed time schedule. Don't be paranoid.. theres no reason to be and it could upset your kid to see her mom in that state.. if the dreams dont go away see a shrink or someone in the same field that you can talk to about your problems.. and sleep is important for your body see a doctor as soon as you can if nothing works out..





hope this helps




Its either from being in a war or your house is haunted. If so call a pastor God will help you in those situations easily.




Any chance you have PTSD?
