Question by Pamm: do i have a sleep disorder mental disorder or what?
okay i know i have insomnia because my doctor told me but he also told me that it could be caused by another serious disorder so i wanted to know if you guys coul help me!
since i was little ive been scared to sleep by myself u know like any other kid bc the monsters were gnna get me and i often felt alone , usually this kid stage ends around 7 or eight but this continued till i was 11, i slept constricted under the covers covering my face so i couldnt see anything that way i wouldnt worry about anything untill i was about 11. now i cannot close my eyes bc i feel insecure afraid and anxious. i am always worried about the morning and what i need to do and if i dont have all my stuff together and what would happen if i didnt get my stuff together…etc etc. anywho i even often think about death and have to keep the t.v on and radio and a light and other little trinkets so it will seem….busy i guess in my room when i sleep. does this sound serious or no?

I don’t know what age you are now kiddo, but you sound like you’re suffering from generalised anxiety disorder, which could also explain the difficulty in getting to sleep. It seems that you are afraid of a lot of different things which is why i think its a generalised anxiety. I’d suggest this to your doctor the next time you see him/her & see what they think. It isn’t all that serious but life could be a lot easier & you’d be more relaxed about things if you tell or suggest to your doctor what i’ve written here.
