Nightmares and anxiety
I've tried being positive on my break off from school and I've had some good days by doing stuff that's fun and I've even slept better for the most part. That being said, my anxiety is on a whole new level. Even when I sleep good, every morning I wake up and have a tight feeling in my chest and feel unbelievably anxious. I feel like I'm afraid of the world. I can't identify what is making me extremely anxious which makes me wonder if its just life in general. All of these feelings are horrible throughout the day but today is by far the worst. Last night I had a serious of bizarre dreams including one nightmare. I was dreaming that I was trying to sleep but there was some type of demonic spirit in my bedroom. It was horrible. I'm trying to fall asleep but there was some sort of demonic spirit making all sorts of scary noises and doing things while I lay helplessly in bed. My eyes are closed and I know this demon is at the foot of bed from all the noises I hear but I'm too terrified to look. I can't really write in this journal entry how terrifying this experience was but it was horrible and I was scared shitless.
There were a few additional dreams I had that were also really bizarre and or don't make sense. A couple I forgot once I woke up but there was one that I remember still. I meant to drive south bound to a certain portion of river. Not sure if I wanted to plain walk it, jog it, explore it or fish it but I discovered that I was actually driving north bound towards the wrong portion of river. That's when I woke up. But good thing my appointment with the doctor is on Monday. But can that day come any sooner?

I\'ve had some really bad nightmares while dealing with stress/insomnia. Just know that it is just your psyche trying to work some shit out. I don\'t know if you\'ve ever read about dream interpretation. Fascinating stuff.
I have also been having bouts of anxiety in the mornings. I have to combat it naturally because all my meds are for bedtime! Get some L-theanine. It\'s an amino acid that eases anxiety. It kept me from going insane until I saw my doctor. Now I just take it every day because it helps keep my nerves even throughout the day. They probably have it at Whole Foods or any other health food store. Trust me, it will help.
