My Fear of Sleep
Anxiety Support / by velvetfuneral
Last post
 September 1st, 2025
...See more Lately, I’ve been trapped in something both strange and terrifying: a fear of falling asleep It’s not simple insomnia, It feels like my mind refuses to surrender control, Each night, when I try to rest, my body tenses, my heart races, and thoughts keep me on edge,The fear itself keeps me awake until morning, and then exhaustion forces me into only two or three shallow hours of sleep during the day. This cycle drains me completely Fear blocks my nights Sleep deprivation clouds my mind and makes me feel as if I’m losing touch with reality The exhaustion then fuels even more anxiety It feels as if something natural and necessary,sleep has turned into a battlefield,what should be peaceful now feels unsafe, and the more i resist, the deeper I fall into this loop of fear and fatigue.
