Hello!

Well, after a long time, I guess it's time for me to write another blog entry. I'm writing today, because I am nervous. Lately, I've been having a lot of trouble sleeping, and right now, I'm having the same problem, thus I thought it'd be nice to share my experiences with you.

Basically, the reason why I can't sleep, is because I am incredibly frightened by my heart beats. Lately, I've been feeling them a lot more, pounding my chest and trickering me into believing that I have some sort of heart problems. I can't fall asleep without having thoughts of a heart attack. Now, my grandparents are doctors, and they have done tests on me, only to prove that I am infact healthy, but, I have to confess, I am slightly a Hypochondriac. The slightest of dings, quirks and stings will pound me with thoughts of Cancer and Tumors. The scariest of these "Dings" is when I'm just about to fall asleep, and my whole body instantly, out of nowhere, contracts, sending me into a really frightening state. Another really scary event, is when my heart apparently misses a beat. I have heard, that it's not a rare thing, for a heart to miss a beat, though, as I said, it really is scary for me.

For the past week, I have consumed Valerian herbs and pills to help me and put away all the negative thoughts. They helped me get rid of thoughts of deadly diseases, though, they didn't help my heart pounding. Most people tell me, that it is due to stress and lack of sleep, which I can say, it can be true! Lately i've fell victim to stress, as the last few weeks of the semester are really pushing me to get the best grades I can, though, lack of social life has also been impacting me. Hah! Perhaps, you, can help me here...

Now, after a few weeks, I'm here, looking for opinion or people who have had similar experiences. If so, please share your experiences and how you overcame those nasty times...

Hope I don't sound too silly, but I hope you'll understand me, that it's really hard for me to cope with these sorts of things. Any mistakes and over the top sillyness is due to my tiredness .
