I also experience this problem at one point of time. That time I easily short of breath and suddenly woke up in the middle of the sleep. I even ask doctor if I got take anti-depression medication but the doctor said mine is mild type and so no need first. Later somehow, those symptoms slowly gone.
After reading a book about this, I realize that several way which can help is to find the right community (ie church small group) whom you can trust to share it out.
Medication/drugs is to be last resort. We need medication sometimes because it has to do with our biological chemical and when we can't really sleep. But medication gotta be prescribed by certified doctor due to its side-effect and dependency (meaning, we need to take it then only can sleep.).
I also learn that mental disorder can be quite difficult to diagnose. I mean for physical illness, we can go for check up, there is many of types of check, test (CT scan, MRI scan, X-ray). But no machine can check for our mental illness. Only can diagnose by looking at the symptoms as a whole. Example for bipolar / manic depression
there are the common signs and symptoms:
- Feeling unusually “high” and optimistic OR extremely irritable
- Unrealistic, grandiose beliefs about one’s abilities or powers
- Sleeping very little, but feeling extremely energetic
- Talking so rapidly that others can’t keep up
- Racing thoughts; jumping quickly from one idea to the next
- Highly distractible, unable to concentrate
- Impaired judgment and impulsiveness
- Acting recklessly without thinking about the consequences
- Delusions and hallucinations (in severe cases)
And best to be treated as early as possible although it is easier to be said than done..
