Help with anxioty at night?

Question

I study UFOlogy and I also study close encounters of the 3rd kind (abduction). I already witnessted an actual abduction/return. since it was so close to my house I have a fear of being abducted. I cannot sleep at night and I also hallusinate and "see" the alien beings. I don't know any way to get out of this fear. I also see siloetes of a female person even though there are no woman in my house. any suggestions other than theropy? Rude answers will be reported for abuse. I do not think I am crazy, If you do, please keep it to yourself, or not even answer at all!

Answer 1

While not necessarily denying or accepting the existence of aliens, I will say that one thing that I have read is that alien abductions tend to begin in early childhood, and also to run in families. These beings seem to want to study family lines, and individuals throughout their lifetimes. If you haven't had these problems so far in your life, chances are you won't now.

Another suggestion, and I mean this in the kindliest possible way, is if these things bother you so much, then don't spend so much time studying and thinking about them, especially before bedtime. Cut off your study time when you have dinner, for instance, and spend time with other things before bedtime. Fear like this isn't good for you. Good luck.

Answer 2

Sounds as if you have post-abduction syndrome (PAS). PTSD is recognized by professional mental health classification and treatment organizations, while PAS is not, as yet. But they are similar. PAS is based on those symptoms originally listed by alien abduction researcher Budd Hopkins and described in his books “Missing Time” and “Intruders”.

PAS symptoms include:
• Persistent re-experiencing of the traumatic event characterized by flashbacks
• Persistent avoidance of stimuli associated with the trauma
• Denial of the event
• Labeling the event something else
• Phobic avoidance of areas or situations where contact occurred
• Refraining from sleep at the time contact occurred
• Emotional reaction to literature, pictures, or videos about alien entities
• Numbing of emotions characterized by inability to feel intimacy, pleasure, or to express
emotions
• Diminished interest previously enjoyed activities
• May have no expectation of normal life events or normal life span
• May fear abduction with no return or lengthy abduction
• Hyper-vigilance, exaggerated startle response, irritability, and/or panic attacks

There are dozens of treatments, the most common is a combination of psychotherapy and psychotropic drug therapy. I would say that the most effective psychotherapeutic treatment for a traumatic disorder is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Extremely briefly, EMDR is an eight-phase treatment that includes the following actions occurring simultaneously and under supervision:
- Patient focuses inwardly on a most traumatic scene from her past
- Patient focuses outwardly on their doctor’s finger, following it back and forth with their eyes
- Patient visualizes a pre-chosen positive picture

Being able to talk with others about what you experienced is very good for your mental health. For, verbalizing it helps get it out in the open, where your own, conscious mind can deal with it better. And sharing common experiences or even tips and clues can be very helpful. So, search for a group that will be supportive of you and your experience.

hmm. . . you said hallusinate. . . hmmm "just say no to drugs?"

listen, i'll give you the benefit of the doubt. if you do fear abductions/aliens. . . the best advice i can give you is that you can only control what you do. you can't control the actions of others. just live your life and live it the best you can. you can't live your life in fear, if you do - then it's not living at all. maybe getting some anxiety pills from your doc will help - there's nothing wrong with getting help. everyone has some form of anxiety. good luck,

No. You are not crazy. You really do need to talk to a professional that can help you. There are also anti anxiety meds that can be helpful for you. Sleep during the day while someone is present and at night assure you are around others. That should give you some comfort.

Answer 5

It is a very scary thought... I often wonder if the more we believe the better chance we have a being abducted... anyway I agree with the other person to get a job at night... sounds good..Good Luck

Answer 6

When a person's mind obsesses over one thing for too long, they begin to have dreams about it. It's as simple as that.

Hey! Here's an idea! Read something else. Study something else, try to move AWAY from the alien thing, and you'll be just fine. Try something a little more uplifting.

Answer 7

If you really need to have a restful night sleep, go to your doctor and ask him about Clonazepam; it's a drug that helps anxiety tone down and it will certainly help you sleep better. I have a terrible bipolar disorder and I'm also OCD with a minor grade of schizophrenia, I hear voices and see things. I know that this drug will help you sleep better. Trust me, and I don't think you're crazy, I believe what you say.

Answer 8

You probably need to change what you are studying. I would move away, since I've always heard that aliens always generally return to the same areas.Fear can have a very detrimental effect on the human body. Please get someone professional to talk to.It doesn't mean you're crazy.

Answer 9

Anxiety is an illness which you clearly have. Visit your doctor for help. And no I don't think you are crazy.

Answer 10
