Ok guys, serious question. Have any of you ever woken up at night in fear of something totally ridiculous like something from a dream and not able to make any sense of it? I mean last night I woke up, afraid of something that really didn't make sense but I was scared none-the-less for like 20 minutes. I had to get up and walk around, tell myself that nothing was wrong, and finally got back to sleep. It's the strangest thing and it's no fun Just wondering if anyone else has even experienced this.

I'll admit its something I've dealt with from time to time. I'm definitely a semi-nervous person and probably have Adult ADD. My mind is like raging freight train of creative thought. So much so that actually turning any of it into something another human being can comprehend is nothing short of a chore.
I’ve on occasion had dreams that freak me out pretty bad and wake up wondering what’s real and what isn’t for a little while until I am fully coherent.
Maybe it doesn’t happen to all of us but you’re certainly not the only one.

Dude, I get freaked out for no damn reason sometimes. I'll be sitting in my truck, driving home when something hits me. I get all nervous and it feels like there's something wrong, like something's waiting for me at home. My mom tells me that the first time this happened, I was real little and I guess I got kinda freaked out. Then I told my mom that my grandfather had died. Turns out my dad's dad died at around the same time.
This happened to me a few years back again--I was just freaking out about nothing, and the anxiety wouldn't stop, then it started to clear and I felt better but something still bothered me. Later on, I found out that my grandmother on my dad's side had broken her hip and was on the ground of her apartment alone for three days. This was around the time I just got freaked out.
I'm not saying I have a sixth sense or something like that, but everytime that feeling hits my gut, I just get this urge to call up everyone I know and ask if everything's all right--I automatically start imagining worst-case scenarios. But sometimes, I just get that feeling and I really have no clue what's causing it.

Nearly every time I leave my house, I fell like I'm forgeting something,even when I'm not! I get that awful Iron-Ball-In-The-Stomach feeling.ugh.
