Going nuts

I need help. I have been doing great and all of the sudden I feel like I am losing it. I was watchign a show on Netflix and must have fallen asleep. When I woke up I could not remember falling asleep and started panicking. I took some meds prescribed to me to calm me but I have this fear of impending doom... I feel like I am losing my mind.

Omg that was me last night. Must have nodded off but had a really lifelike dream. It wasn't even anything scary but it seemed so real it freaked me out. Must have nodded off in bed and my dream was very normal and mundane. I dreamt I was watching tv in bed (i was before nodding off) I checked my phone and I was playing farm heroes (did check my phone but it was on here not farm heroes not played that in ages) I put my phone down on my belly and then started to go to sleep I jolted awake at that point as in my dream I thought I better put my phone on bedside table. It wasn't anything scary but it seemed so real and worked me right up. Couldn't sleep for ages after that.

I see its been 4 hours since you posted so I hope that you managed to calm down and get some sleep. The mind is so strong sometimes and really works us up over the silliest things x

I had to take a valium to calm down. It was the weirdest thing. I couldnt sleep and I must have nodded off and when I woke up to go to the bathroom I kept thinking omg I have to wake up in 3 hours and went back to bed and started having racing thoughts ans one of them is that I couldnt remember putting my phone away and I just starting going nuts. I was so scared that I was still dreaming or that I died or something and so I got up and took a valium and tried to go back to bed. Eventually I was able to calm myself but it was the weirdest experience. If any of that makes sense... Thanks for replying!
