Fear of dying in sleep

Hi all, it's 1:21am and I've been in bed for over 2 hours now and I'm scared to fall asleep because I am scared of dying in my sleep. I have a huge headache and I keep thinking about it over and over. I'm really scared.

You are not going to die. You're not going anywhere. That's ALL ANXIETY, and it f'ing sucks!!! I had the same symptom sooooo bad 2 years ago, every night for about 3 months straight smh and still it comes back from time to time but I'm able to now realize that it's one of the many symptoms of anxiety and panic disorder. Try to put on some really relaxing music or sometimes it's good to get up for a few min and turn on the tv until you feel okay to lay back down, just to focus your energy elsewhere for a few min. I hope you're able to get some good rest 😌
