its almost 3 in the morning, and i cannot sleep. its a school night too! and the worst part is that the same thing happened night before last. then last night i got like 14 hours of sleep. now tonight is another sleepless one.
everytime i close my eyes i see something attacking. or something in my room. i cant catch my breath sometimes. i just get the urge to run. sometimes its not paranoia. sometimes i see odd shapes. shapes that ive never seen before in my life. shapes that seem to flow. they seem to flow into my vision. i dont understand that most of all. and then i get to thinking about things. my life, my goals, my future, how im slacking, procrastinating, putting things off because im afraid of life. im afraid of what will happen when i graduate high school. i have no college plans. my family just doesnt have the money. im planning on moving at least close to my boyfriend while he goes to college next year. i want to be a recreational therapist later in life, so i want to somehow find a job interning with one(somehow!!!). ive been so worked up lately:getting over a bad cold, dealing with a rogue alter personality, thinking about things that i need to do to better myself; that ive lost sight of what i REALLY need to start thinking about. the HOWS. how am i going to move after graduation, how am i going to find a job, how am i going to even pass the 12th grade, how am i going to intern, how am i going to get to where i need to be? all these things are now running through my head full force. but these thoughts arent what disrupt my ability to sleep, its the damn shapes and paranoia for the most part! i dont get what they are. why this paranoia is here. why im so anxious all of a sudden. why im not passed out by this time on a school night (my body usually tells me the time that i REALLY need to get to sleep). i need to get up to get ready for school in approximately 3 hours now. and what am i doing? sitting here being anxious as hell and not being able to sleep. any tips or advice, PLEASE? also im sorry about the rambling....

You need to talk to someone who is qualified to explain why you see things. If your seeing things that sounds more then anxiety to me. Our bodies need an certain amount of rest to function you def need sleep to be able to be alert in school. I would def make an appointment with a menatl health person. I will pray for you and hope things get better.

It sounds like a good idea to talk to your doctor, just to put your mind at rest, maybe your anxiety is high because you are getting over a bad cold and your defences are low, or maybe its because you are thinking too much about the future and things are getting on top of you. When my anxiety is getting too much for me I try to solve one problem at a time rather than taking everything on all at once, I know its easier said than done though, I hope this helps in some way, best wishes, take care

These two replies are really good, I have to agree with seeing a doctor first. I am wondering if you are hallucinating some, because you are exhausted?
I have insomia myself, as I have varying degress of pain, then the anxiety. Sometimes I am so uptight, I feel like my head is hovering over the pillow and just being held there. The problem though is you can get out of balance of your days and nights. This makes it even more difficult. I want to add some of your fears of your future is not unusual. There are a lot of fears going on for people your age in this economy and it is easy to get into a big worry place because of the unknown future, but when you think about it, what does worrying do for you? nothing. You cannot fix the situation in any form. But you can get help for the insomnia as well as trying to slow down your mind and relax your body. What I am saying is, you cannot change whats going on around you in any way, but you can change yourself and how you relate to it.
