True man, laughter heals a lot of wounds. Personally I'm always smiling and laughing and at times have been accused of smiling too much. haha
 
I have had similar stuff before, when i was a child, very young, i was climing our sofa to put something on the window sill above it, as i reached the window there this man there looking right at me and i screamed and fell to the ground, knocked myself out, woke up and didnt remember a thing, mum told me what had happened cause she was there in the room with me. a few years later, when i was about 11 or 12, when i was about to go to sleep, i would here a tapping on my window, i would open the curtain and see this screaming man, just his face, just this screaming head in the darkness. ever since i have had sleeping problems, gone through insomnia on a few occasions. it happens most when im stressed, i cant fall asleep, i get really paranoid and start thinking people are outside my room. It happens the worst after truamatic experiences, my girlfriend cheated on me twice about 8 months ago, for the next 5 weeks after she told me, i couldnt sleep, started seeing people outside my window, there silhoutess on the curtains.

What you've got to do is relax, its the key, see somebody about it, a proffessional and make the decision to stop your hullucinations, its all in your head, and all in your decisions. you can make them stop if you try hard enough.
 
I have one per month. One time I decorated my bathroom with bed sheets. When I woke go to go to
bathroom I was like WTF!
 
This is scary shit. For TheBeef I'll bet its a combination of stress and exhaustion. If you're only getting 4 hours of sleep a night, that's trouble.
 
I believe the minimun amount of sleep for the average person is about 5 hours per night, but it's different for everyone.

My step-dad has something like that, but I believe it is more of a "sleep walk". He gets up and goes to the wall and tries to fix something (he's a computer engineer) and some doctor said it was stress-related... Like Akira said: See a therapist, or get a massage once a week. Try different things.
 
I appreciate all the advice, but honestly, more rest, massages, even therapy cant happen....I already work 80+ hours a week and cant keep up with the bills....Im not doing any of it because I want to, I have to if my kids are to have a roof and food on the table....Im going to have a rough one today I think....I started Sunday morning at 5am and went from one job straight to the other one, so I will be going on 27 hours when I finally get to sleep this morning, then Im back up at 11am to start consecutive shifts that will take me through Tuesday morning at 7am....Im running on fumes now and thats when i get the worst hallucinations....
 
I just had to take a 9mm away from a close friend that was trying to kill himself....he was "locked and loaded" as they say....I wish today was a hallucination
 
Shit. That must be a nice thing to walk in on.
 
Jeez, you are probably still shaking from the gravity of the situation. I hope your friend can pull through this, Beef. My best wishes go out to you and them.
 
Holy shit, just try to get them talking about their problems to someone, if they can get it off their chest they'll feel a whole lot better. Hope it turns out alright.
 
it sounds like your daily routines are very similar and structured, and you use the same senses over and over--why not try to do something else for an hour, and see if that has a positive effect? Something as simple as taking a camera out to a field and taking some pictures? Or paint a picture? It could just be the result of a part of your brain that is falling into disuse and is fighting back, not unlike not using certain muscles for a long period of time. In short, try exercising your mind, maybe you'll stumble on the one thing that your mind "wants" to do and puts it at ease.

More sleep would probably help, too.

I havent had a hallucination since I started classes, so breaking up the routine did actually work.....

As far as today, my friend just lost his bid for election to public office on Tuesday....he was upset and mentioned over IM that he was going to kill himself, so I went to his house to talk to him....when I got there, along with BF1 who went with me, he never spoke a word to us, just walking by with the gun, getting into his car and driving away.....we followed him and he finally stopped at a church....when he went in, we broke into his truck and took the gun....I took the clip out and cleared the one in the chamber and we locked it in BF1s car and called the guys Dad....we waited at a distance while he talked to someone, the pastor I assume, until his Dad arrived, then I had to go get my kids at school....all in all, not a pleasant day, but for now, hes unarmed and hopefully ok....
 
Hopefully everything turns ok man. Suicide doesn't solve any problems even though it may seem like it does, it causes so much pain to the loved ones, which is even worse than dying from natural causes.


Are you feeling better Beef? Still working all those hours?
 
Can`t say I`ve had it that bad before.

The most I can remember is punching the air while waking up to fight something, or getting ready to run from the Russian mob or Ninjas, or having my heart racing and jumping out of bed, getting dressed thinking I missed an exam, when it was the middle of summer.
 
I'm proud to know you, Beef.
 
I am still working all the hours, and Ive actually added a full time course load to that, which sounds insane, when you consider how many hours I work, but all the classes are online and I have more than enough time to do my school work while Im at work, so really, its no more than it was....actually, I can see a time in the future where I can reduce to a single job and that helps....having an exit strategy, even if its 4-5 years out, makes a world of difference....I havent had a hallucination since I started classes

Well that's good to hear man. Are you getting more sleep or just about the same?
 
mostly the same, maybe a little less....with school starting, i have to take the kids to school and pick them up....so even If i get the chance to sleep a while in the mornings, I have to be at 2pm to head to the school....it insures that theres no chance I can get into REM sleep....

Nice man, you gotta relax from time to time. Watch a dolphins game or something. :)
 
I don't really even know what to say.

Other than you are far tougher emotionally than I am. To deal with all of that.... wow. There's a reason I try and shut down all the feelings I have. If I was going through all of that... I don't even know.
