Q: Is This Normal
asked by: Blue727 on September 23rd, 2007

When I close my eyes and try to sleep I have conversations in my head. It's like I will know the question, but have my mother ask it to me in my head. This only happens when I try to sleep. I was diagnosed with anxiety, depression and ocd, but I'm not sure what this means. It sometimes wakes me up and puts me into a panick attack. The conversations are very random and of good nature. I sometimes think it happens to me now, because before I lay down, I dread that it's going to happen again. Is this just part of the normal thought process? I have been told it is and that you can't control what pops into your head. Is this anything to be concerned about? Thanks for your help!

I have seen many doctors and all say I have anxiety, depression and OCD. The conversation stuff didn't start until last week when I took a paxil and had a bad reaction. For some reason I think I just focused in on this conversation thing and now everytime I try to sleep I hear it again. Like I said, the conversations are about random things and nobody is telling me to do anything. It just kind of scared me. I have since started Cymbalta (day 4) and will wait to see the outcome. I think with the anxiety, depression and OCD that you have a fear it's something else and tend to focus in on it.

nobody can pinpoint what exactly what your problem is from a few paragraphs on a forum. go to a professional and tell them your symptoms if they bother you. you could just be freaking your own mind out a bit because of the anxiety, depression and OCD. if its not really bad wait it out and see what happens, if it keeps happening or your condition worsens go to a doctor straight away.
