That happens to me.

Its like you're in a state of mind when you're awake mentally, but physically you can't move.

That use to happen to me all the time it lasted for weeks. It would happen as I was falling asleep, and waking up. I would try so hard to yell, or pinch myself to wake myself up. It also feels like its getting harder and harder to breathe, and you're completely paralyzed and can't do anything about it.

I have no clue how I stopped it, but It went away. Certain times It will happen again, I try to explain to my family and they all just think I'm crazy.

I was the same way, I didn't want to sleep, because I feared that this would happen. So, I would sleep in my brothers room, while he played his xbox or was on the computer. He'd talk to me till I just fell asleep in his room, then he'd sleep in my room. After a while It just stopped.

Well a metaphysical answer could be you have some sort of spirit or negative energy around you, or your bed/room. Or, the negative energy could be from social issues, I think you are having nightmares/terrors that could be "subconscious anxiety attacks. Your dreams are basically images from your life interpreted by your subconscious. It could mean you feel suffocated, or trapped, you gotta break free and get some fresh air in your life! You need to meditate on your life and try to calm your mind so you can try to find the source of this anxiety and tension. Talk to a friend or family member, if you don't know who to talk to about it there are resources available at the Clinic/Hospital, you can talk to someone in person or you can do it anonymous over the phone. Good luck, warm wishes!

yes you can have anxiety attacks in your sleep, but usually you can wake up. Then again, they can be so bad that you are just frozen in that moment. It could also be something else to if your heart is racing or fluttering, and your body starts to tremble. I would really go to your normal doctor first of all and have your heart, blood pressure, pulse and all of that taken and checked out, cause it could be the sign of something else too. So i would really like to hear that you have gone to your doctor and talked to him about this, and had your heart and that checked out. It could be body memories too, and that could be something that you don't remember but your body does, and that is why you can not move or make a sound, cause your body is going through a body momery that you proably don't even remember. It could be a lot of things .
so please go to you doctor and first have that heart and that checked out and tell him what is happening. if it is not that then go to a professional and tell them what is happening and they will help you work out the problem.

This happened to me a few times, right when I was about to drift off it would happen, the heart palpitations,chest pressure, and dizziness. Some people have night terrors too and I hear they are similar. Very important when you have anxiety-stay away from the caffeine!!

I too have had something similar and I have sympathy for you. I didn't have ringing in my ears or a fluttering, or racing heart,although your other symptoms are exactly as mine were. It first started when I was in a very stressful situation; Viet Nam,1966. I only had one episode before coming home, once home it continued, not occurring often, and lasted for about 6 months. I never knew what it was.I suggest you see a doctor. Good luck.

I have read some litterature about panic attacks. But they allways seem to have a more scientific approach and that is nothing I need in my struggle to survive those horrible panic attacks. This is a "hand on" and very practical book. I felt it was written to me. I am sure that you are going to feel the same.

Joe Barry writes exactly how I think. The examples are perfectly described. And the method is genius. I recommend this book and thanks Joe Barry for writing it. It changes your life

Yes in fact most panic attacks do happen then. From experience I have had to run my wife down to bring her back to reality. Its almost as if everything is actually happening until I can bring her back to the reality that im holding her in my arms and everything else is a nightmare. May God help you threw this very difecult time!
