Again. I can't sleep I am feeling really tense and out of balance.

[ImHere_Again]

As I am falling asleep I suddenly start to feel dizzy. My body is currently really tense due to this feeling. I don't know what to do. When I close my eyes I start to really pay attention to what I feel. The best way I can explain this feeling is as if you were in a rollercoaster ride being held upside down. Your body gets so tense and don't want to move or else you might fall. As I was falling asleep I felt like I did fall and quickly woke up. I know there is a common feeling that many people get when falling asleep, a suddenly jerk. Thought I feel like it's worse. It only happens when I am falling asleep. My anxiety really gets to me. This same feeling takes me back a few years ago, when I was diagnosed with anxiety. I felt extremely dizzy when I closed my eyes and opened them during bedtime. I was so afraid to sleep. Those were horrible times and this feeling reminds me of that. I really hope it doesn't turn into that again. At that time I didn't know how I was going to continue living like that. On Wednesday I am going to talk to my doctor about be it and see it if I can start my anxiety medication again. I am really hoping to get better. Still, I have to first get through this night. I don't know how. I am really scared and very anxious. It's so hard to deal with this.

I have felt that before.. ugh what a terrible feeling!

I’m assuming it must be panic attacks. When I first started getting anxiety again, I felt very similar to this. Lorazepam helped calm me down with the dizziness. I really hope your Dr can Help you.
