I had stomach pains last night when I went to sleep, just indigestion, but being an emetophobe all stomach pain can make me anxious even if I know the cause. I struggled to get to sleep but passed out around 2am. Woke an hour later from a really bad weird dream I think about teeth. I was so scared I didn’t open my eyes for 10 minutes I just lay there heart pounding feeling super disoriented and groggy because I was still so tired and half asleep. 

Eventually got up to use the bathroom and turned my lights on, I knew I wasn’t gonna be able to just go back to sleep as I was too stressed and anxious now. Ended up not getting back to sleep till 5am, just sat on my phone trying to calm down, was too scared to turn off my lights or close my eyes for some reason. I was starving the whole time as well and my stomach hurt but I didn’t want to eat yet and mess my eating schedule up as that would just cause more anxiety.

Woke at about 11am but had woken briefly several times, the entire night was just extremely broken. I’ve managed to eat breakfast but I just feel off, I think I’m probably just still really tired and anxious from the weird dreams and stuff, but being tried is a big trigger for me, but I get scared to sleep sometimes. I really just want to get through the day today, I don’t need to accomplish anything. 

I feel like my heart just won’t slow down or I’m just painfully aware of it atm. My eyes are heavy and i feel foggy and not fully present at all, basically how you feel when you’re tried I suppose but it’s kinda stressing me out. Has anyone got any advice or can just reassure me that I’m okay and that this feeling is normal? I’m deathly afraid of being unwell or having something wrong with me, this is normal right, I’m just tired? 

Any and all comments are appreciated, I try not to ask for validation so much but today I’m just particularly high strung and on edge
