Are you afraid you won't wake up? Do you have sleep paralysis or just general anxiety about sleeping? Do you wake up short of breath? I don't understand why your so afraid. That's a horrible feeling. I hope you do find some help.

I don't fear death. I fear an unlived life. The worry of dying, is a waste of my time alive. Find some spiritual help. Or counselling. I really hope that you can overcome this fear.

Try to remember what you were doing or what was happening in your life the last time the fear went away.
