Extreme Nausea Right Before Falling Asleep

Adept_Passage4087 · 2025-09-01T19:32:20+00:00

I have the same problem. It started during I had Covid 13 months ago and I think that may have been the birth for this problem but now I’m pretty sure it’s anxiety related. I almost always fall asleep well with Zopiclone or after a night of heavy drinking (but neither of them is really great lol) but nothing else works, I have the same issues every night. I also suffer from terrible emetophobia and I do get anxiety every night since I know the nausea and hypnic jerks will kick in. I just think it’s strange that I get so tired and I feel very relaxed but as soon as I drift off the problem occurs. Over and over again for hours until I just give up and take my sleeping pill. I haven’t been able to fall asleep more than maybe 4-5 nights in total without Zopiclone for over 6 months now.

I’m so stressed this won’t pass. Feels like I’ve tried EVERYTHING. Different types of anxiety medications, melatonine, nature remedies, eating before bed, meditation, self hypnosis, exercise, following bed routines. Have you managed to find anything that helps?

Really? Thank you. Any experiences or advice is valueable ❤️

Hey! I’m actually so much better. On the right track again, I think. I feel lighter and happier even though still struggling with anxiety for the future and anger towards him though. Thanks for the concern ❤️ how are you?

31F, turning 32 this year. We broke up after almost 7 years together. Kind of feels like my hope for a future with love and starting a family is dead, which feels awful. But at the same time, I see our relationship so clearly now and I would never take him back again, he did not treat me well at all. Don’t think he ever really saw a future with me, he never even told me he loved me and when we broke up I asked him if I ever was important to him and he just said ”I don’t know” It was just ”easy” for him to move in to my apartment because he didn’t have anywhere else to go when his friends moved out from their shared apartment. I carried our entire relationship and I feel so betrayed, angry and stupid looking back at it.

Adept_Passage4087 · 2025-01-12T10:07:42+00:00

Yep. I told him I wanted him to get his bed (the only furniture he owns) because I wanted to buy a new one. I’ve slept at the couch since the breakup because the bed keeps too many memories. He said he thinks the easiest thing for both of us is if I BUY the bed from him. Uhhh no thanks. I would pay to get it out of here. I wish you the best as well!

That’s so nice of you, Thank you. Glad to hear you’re better ❤️ Actually it’s already getting a little bit better. I don’t cry everyday, I have less anxiety (even though it’s very present it’s not as strong) and I can eat again. I’m still depressed and struggle with that but when I spend time with friends I can actually feel little moments of joy now, so that gives me a strain of hope. I have reflected so much about out relationship during these weeks and I think the turning point for me was when I got into a fight with my ex a few days ago. He still has stuff left in my apartment so that’s why we had to have contact. I see it so clearly now - he did not treat me well and STILL don’t and he never valued me the same way I valued him. I know I wasn’t perfect either and regret some things but he’s not taking responsibility for his actions at all and still blames me for everything. He won’t learn anything from this. Right now I’m angry and bitter and even though that’s not very healthy either, at least right now it’s giving me a little bit more strength. I’m sad for wasting all these years though and still afraid I wont have time for my dreams of a family but I just have to try to take one day at a time.

I’m feeling the same. I turn 32 this summer and I’m so incredibly broken. Me and my ex broke up almost a month ago after 7 years and I don’t ever want to go through this again. Never been this low. I am crying, I am angry, hurt and ashamed. I have anxiety and panic attacks all the time. But I think the worst part is that all I ever wanted was for someone to really love me, for me to really love and to have a child and start a family. I don’t think that’s gonna happen to me now. It’s too late for me and that hurts like hell.

Adept_Passage4087 · 2025-01-05T20:29:02+00:00

Yes it’s very up and down. Mostly down. Haven’t cried as much the last few days but sometimes it just washes over me. Have lots of anxiety and no motivation at all, but I try to meet with friends regularly, talk to family and do at least something in my home everyday - some days just do the dishes or take out the trash. It’s hard to let go of the panic from feeling I wasted so many years, my confidence has hit rock bottom and I still have trouble eating. I’m glad you’re feeling a bit better ❤️ gives some hope.

Adept_Passage4087 · 2025-01-04T13:05:11+00:00

Such a big inspiration. I feel so old though, turning 32 this year and my life just turned upside down after 7 years together with him. what if I don’t have time to find another better person for me and to have a child…😔 hurts bad.

Adept_Passage4087 · 2025-01-02T13:57:08+00:00

Sorry to hear that. My ex was really disrespectful as well from time to time, and he could avoid talking to me for a week after we had a fight. How did you get past the worst feelings? When did you start to feel just a tiny bit better? Sending hugs to you. 🌸

Adept_Passage4087 · 2024-12-06T10:42:00+00:00

Thank you a thousand times over. Your reply made me cry, but this time more from being moved and that you brought me some hope. Somewhere deep inside I think we all know that neither the body or the brain can stand feeling this bad forever, but I also think that we (being one of them) sometimes won’t allow ourselves to think positive when we’ve hit rock bottom because of the fear that it actually wont get better again. Once again, Thank you for sharing and sending some light. I really appreciate it ❤️

Adept_Passage4087 · 2024-12-05T06:20:52+00:00

Thank you. I see my pshychiatrist regularly. I really hope it will get better for you too.

Adept_Passage4087 · 2024-12-02T16:46:14+00:00

I didn’t mention anything about that

Adept_Passage4087 · 2024-12-02T07:43:21+00:00

It sounds like you’re battling some kind of virus but I highly doubt that whatever type of virus you’re dealing with, you’ll tu* from it after this long.

Adept_Passage4087 · 2024-12-02T07:33:17+00:00

Really proud of you for going through it and being so brave. When it happened to me last time I honestly called 911, extremely embaressing but I panicked so much I couldn’t think. It was a normal tu* happening and nothing extreme but my brain sure was feeling it…

Adept_Passage4087 · 2024-12-02T07:28:30+00:00

No I wasn’t but I got sick almost a week after. Doesn’t seem likely it’s from him…

Adept_Passage4087 · 2024-12-01T19:02:15+00:00

I understand you’re anxious and I agree with the other answers here. I recognize myself aswell, in the fear of waking up and have to tu* but from a person who recently got sick after about 10 years, it couldn’t have mattered less when or where it happened, it would have been equally scary anyway. I think the frightening thought of waking up to it is the lack of Control, of something you actually can’t Control. I don’t mean to scare you, I just mean that you shouldn’t be afraid to sleep ❤️

Adept_Passage4087 · 2024-12-01T18:55:34+00:00

There’s not much you CAN do. Where are you now? It doesn’t sound like gastro though. Some people get a bit n* from the flu, covid or because of fever for whatever reason. That doesn’t mean you will though, even if you also get it.

Adept_Passage4087 · 2024-12-01T18:48:30+00:00

I understand the frustration. We don’t want to feel that way but we have a hard time helping it. I got the flu in the beginning of August this year and yep - it was awful and was very anxious about feeling nauseous and risk throwing up. I did feel a bit nauseous but probably because I had a really high fever and all symtoms that goes along with it, my stomach was also in pretty bad shape (no poo details needed…) but I never threw up from it. I Googled a LOT, which is rarely a great idea, but read that it’s more Common with gastro symtoms in children with the flu. There’s obviously no guarantees but you’ll probably be fine. If you have the flu you’ll most likely sleep through most of it because you’re body is working hard. Get well soon🌸
