sleep walking?


Well, so far nobody has left a comment, has anybody even read it?
Just another day of doing nothing at work. In fact, I have kind of a headache from doing nothing. Well actually I have a headache cause I think I'm harboring some kind of sickness, but it's really bothering me cause it's been nothing but minor aches in the body and a killer headache for the last 3 days. No fever (which is rare for me), no stuffed up nose or sore throat. It's actually getting a little annoying. I wish that if I was going to get sick it would just attack me all at one time. This is kind of just teasing me, making me wonder if it's all just in my head.
So, new topic. I'm newly married and I'm slowly starting to get used to somebody else sleeping in my bed. We didn't live together before and we rarely spent the night with each other when we were dating. Anyway, he goes to bed quite a bit later than I do so I almost always (in fact I will venture to say ALWAYS) go to bed by myself. It doesn't bother me too much because by the time I go to bed I'm super tired anyway. But anyway, last night he went to hang out with some friends and didn't get home until 2:30 or so. I have some sort of alarm in my head when it comes to him, I don't know what it is but I will bolt up out of bed in the middle of the night if he's not there and either call him immediately or just kind of freak out. But, there's a time limit on it. Like, when I know he has to go to work the next day the alarm in my head will typically go off around 1:30 or so and if he's home I'll go find him wherever he is and remind him of the time and if he's aware that he has to get up in the morning. Like he doesn't know! Then I always go back to bed and feel stupid that I just did that. If it's a weekend or something it goes off around 3:00am or so. But the weird thing about it is that I have minimal control over it. It's almost partial sleep walking. I know what I'm doing but I have zero rational thinking and it's an immediate, "Where is he? What is he doing?"
In everyday living I am a super worrier, if it can be worried about I will do it and to a to the extreme. Along with that (and obviously connected) I have some anxiety issues---hyperventilating (rarely, but it has occured), shortness of breath, tightness of stomach, dizzy head. And the majority of the time this happens as a result of nothing. Just a weird feeling.
Along with that weird alarm thing I have with my husband I also have these freaky dreams every once in a while. The dream is as simple as this: I wake up in my bed looking at the dark ceiling and either one huge spider or a bunch or little ones are dropping on my face. That's it. It's so short but extremely vivid. So vivid that everytime this happens I, again, bolt out of bed and run to the other side of the room, heart pounding. Numerous times I have gone and gotten someone (my husband, roommate) to come and kill the spider that I am so sure is there. However, the other night it was so bad that when I bolted out of bed I also let out a very loud scream (which I'm sure our neighbors appreciated) and starting hitting my face saying "get it off of me!". I know, it sounds crazy, but there's nothing I seem to be able to do about it.
Anyway, I kind of feel sorry for my husband. He's gotta be thinking, "What the heck?" a good portion of the time.
Ok, I realize that this is a pretty long blog, so I think I'll stop now. Leave a comment if the spirit moves you.
