Loud, racing thoughts before I go to bed

2017-09-02 04:14:46
Ever since I was young, I've ocassionally been experiencing weird things in my head while I'm in bed at night. As I'm lying in completely silence, a thought, song, or word plays in my head, but it gets louder and louder and faster each time. It's almost like screaming. It used to make me really uncomfortable and scared when I was younger.

Hello young lady. Your symptom seems very unclear. Will require detailed evaluation. But on preliminary basis I think this may be  hypnogogic hallucinations which are  weird sensations or perceptions during onset of sleep .They are common. Pls visit a psychiatrist. Or it may be a symptom of some underlying sleep disorder.

Your description of experiences suggest a normal phenomenon called hypnogogic hallucinations. Hence nothing to worry about. Best wishes.
