Anyone else experience this? Waking up in the middle of the night being extra symptomatic or confused/panicky?

Currently, alot of things. Dp/dr is the main thing, however a doctor has also suggested schizotypal and doctors in the past have suggested drug induced psychosis. I am seeing a psychiatrist soon however to be evaluated for schizophrenia as I am showing many signs of it.

Yes. This happens to me as well. I’ve been so confused that I’ve yanked all my bed sheets off onto the floor and just couldn’t figure out what was going on. I get the DR/DP quite a bit as well.
What are you diagnosed with? And how often does this happen to you?

Schizoaffective and this can happen many times a week although I do get little breaks and if I keep the stress toned down things seem to be better. Hang in there Tom
Do you have any idea what causes this or why it happens?
I’m not sure but in addition to stress the drinking of alcohol seems to have something to do with it also IMHO
Yes I get this it’s terrible. I wake up fully awake and in full blown panic mode sometimes almost like I’m rushing on ecstasy. It comes from nowhere.
I actually got it when I didn’t take APs so it might be a body change from going off them like a withdrawal of some sort.

Earlier I woke up after being asleep for 2 hours in a blissful state. I turned on a movie to help me fall back asleep and was gripped by this high pitch frequency noise in both ears thst makes me tense up and become stiff in the neck tense in the scalp.
It doesn’t allow me to sleep but if I sit up everything is calm. I just hate being awake when other people are waking up to go to school and work it messes eith me and makes me have nervous ticks and repeating thoughts

Do you suppose it’s a part of the illness? How long have you been having this?
