I am now affected by the situation as described in a post about 'reference notes for P for medical consultation with Dr. I'. Every night, I stay awake, unable to sleep until 03.00 am and wake up at 09.00 am and rush to the office by 10.00 am.
I get frightened to sleep since July-August 2012. At least 2-3 times earlier, I had panic attacks. Once at Yamunotri, in a closed room wearing 4-6 sets of clothes, blankets and sleeping bags, when the lights went off, I panicked at 01.30 am. I kept praying and walking about in the cold, and in the forest. I heard movement and sounds of animals, including perhaps a leopard, but it seemed safer to be outside than going back in the room. I found some candles and LED torches at 05.00 am and lit them, and I was able to go to sleep.
In August 2012, I was planning to go on an expedition / pilgrimage to Mount Kailash, and I was packing at night for about a week. On 20.8.2012, I woke up from sleep at 02.30 am in deep panic. The details of the panic attack on 20.8.2012 are explained in a separate post.
Points explained to Dr. I on 26.2.2013
