I remember a time of wealth, health and prosparity. A time of giving and receiving. A time of serving. But that was many years ago. Today I reflect on those times to take my mind away from current hardships. For years I have suffered from a strange painful awakening in my sleep. And recently it has become so intense I have decided to share it with you. Imagine going to sleep. Unable to find the best position of comfort but eventually you do and you fall into a deep sleep. After a hr or three hours you awaken. You are short of breath. Pain of pressure on your chest and your entire body is in pain and you are confused. Slowly you come out of this terrifying experience. You want to go back to sleep but you know if you do this will happen again a few more times before morning. So you stay awake, write and read until you fall asleep again. Only to wake up and go through this same experience again.
I have been thru a sleep study and told I do not have sleep Apnea. My symptoms may be nothing more than panic attacks or anxiety. My personal life is simple and happy. My exposure to stressful situations are minimal. Whatever the cause of these events, I am determined to over come them so once again I can live that once upon a time life.
