Am I crazy???/

Posted by chris on May 10, 1998 at 20:37:53:

I don't know if I am nuts or not. I fear going to sleep. I am scared someone is going to break in and kill me. I have no reason to fear this. My neighborhead isn' t that bad and I have a wonderful husband beside me. No one has ever broke in before. I hear every noise in the house and wake up and look around the house. Now we are moving to a home with more doors into the house and I am terrified. My nights are long adn rough.
When I do sleep I wake up not breathing. I was tested for sleep apnea a long time ago and it came back negative. It feels like my throat has closed up when I wake up and I kick real hard trying to get air. I also wake up screaming thinking someone is killing me.
So can anyone help me or am I a nut. I am embarrassed to tell people I know about this because I know all of this is irrational. Thanks for listening Chris
