The first time this happened to me I had a friend sleep over. I woke up and I saw a spider coming towards me on a web so I reached up and moved it out of the way then I jumped out of bed and screamed as I made my friend help me look to find this spider for 15 mins. It wasn't there and my friend though I was odd or I was dreaming (which I know for sure I was awake).

The next time I heard a knock at the door and I shouted my mum to get it as she was already downstairs but there was nobody there and I know I heard the door and my dog barking but my mum said none of that happened.

Then as I was waking it felt as if someone had hit me over the head. This one I think was that I did bang my head? I had no mark but I still felt the pain and I heard a bang. But I was lying on my stomach and the pain and sound came from behind me?

Then last night I've had another scary experience where I saw someone standing in front of me. A face close and threatening that I had never seen and it scared me so I went to wack it out of the way and screamed but hurt my arm on my bedside table. I have never hurt myself because of this before (although, I was close to falling out of bed with the spider because I hate them so much). Luckily there will be just a bruise.

Is this common? Am I losing my mind? I am losing sleep because I cannot settle down. I need some advice.

(my mental health background is that I suffer from depression and anxiety)

Please don't judge me.
