Lately, I have been experiencing weird things. At night I see shadows. Sometimes I feel that I am being touched. Sometimes it feels like ants are crawling on me. I was sleeping but my mind was fully awake. This shadow it felt like it was trying to get inside me, like it was trying to rape me. Every time it touched me my whole body shook. It looked like I was convulsing. I could not wake up and in my mind I was thinking mom come and wake me up. I had the feeling like I was floating and then being pushed down. It was like I was awake the whole time because in my head I could see it. I was in my room and I know my eyes were closed. Almost like I wasn't in my own body. When my mom finally came to wake me up, it took five minutes to really wake up. I felt drained and I was still shaking.
I haven't been sleeping well for over a month now. Every time I feel it, my body starts shaking and sometimes I feel dizzy, sometimes I get a pang in my head almost like a quick headache, sometimes I feel nauseous, but in the end I just feel drained and unhappy. Other instances would be feeling like something is on my bed because I can feel the pressure of it and I'm a light sleeper so anything can wake me up. I don't hear anything and whatever it is doesn't talk. I just feel it and sometimes see it. At some instances it scares me so badly that I just start crying.
I did have PTSD when I was younger. I am adopted from Russia when I was seven. Nothing of this sort has happened to me before, except I do remember being in the orphanage and seeing this dark shadow when it was bed time and I was afraid of it, I hid under the blanket. But that is all that I remember about any shadows.
Many times I would randomly just daze off and not notice that I am doing it. I would just stare at something and my mind would be blank. I know that's normal but it has been happening a lot lately. I don't know what is happening. It seems like this thing is getting worse. As I sit here and write it I can feel the crawly sensation and my heart rate is going crazy. I do not know what to think or do, so any help would be great.
Thanks,
