» Kawaii_Eggs - Can someone tell me about my dream and what happened afterwards?
So, I woke up at about 2:15am, got out of my bed and I couldn't move. I started crying and hyperventilating and I felt as though if I was to walk anywhere in the darkness, I would go back into my dream [I have a mental disorder and one of the numerous symptoms is that I find it very difficult to tell the difference between dream and reality]. I went upstairs and turned on all the lights, and was crying and almost being sick for about 20 minutes before I woke my dad up with my crying, and he calmed me down, and he thinks I'm asleep now.
I know it's a very long post but I need someone to tell me why I had such a terrible dream, and, was what I had afterwards a panic attack? Anxiety runs in my family but I've never been diagnosed with it or anything so I have no idea what happened to me.
Nothing traumatic has happened to me recently, I haven't watched any horror movies or anything. I can't understand my dream or my reaction to it [which I now know was totally irrational], and I can't call anyone about it because of the time.
Can someone please tell me what happened?
If it helps, I'm 14, female, I'm on anti-depressants [which I accidentally skipped two days in a row this week, but that's happened before and it was fine], have Depersonalisation, and as I said, anxiety runs in my family.
Any explanation, no matter how small, would be greatly appreciated.
