You don't say how old you are.  Your dreams might be telling you something has happened recently that is really bothering you deep inside.  Or, you could be at the age where depression rears its ugly head -- you don't say your age.  It could also be a lot of other things -- eating too close to bedtime, for example, can trigger rough sleep, as can exercising heavily too close to bedtime, in some people.  Are there psychologists where you are so you can enter therapy and figure this out?  And do you have a regular doc who can check your blood sugar, hormones and thyroid, and the like to make sure nothing is going on with your system?

Thanks paxi,Iam 21 years old and I recently met psychatrist and she told me that don't think much about ur future and sleep minimum 7-8 hours and gave me some medicine .But she didn't understand my actual problem and I don't think that I benefited with her consultation.And I think the reason for those jerks is I kept thinking too much about my future and I didn't have proper sleep and I kept my mind under pressure so that is the reason I think but now what I should do to get rid of this unknown disease (lost interest in everything and lost enthusiasm and uneasiness in my mind) please help me to get rid of this problem? Will it be fine? can I get back to normal thinking?

I mention therapy, not psychiatric drugs.  They can be necessary, but in your case, you're still functioning, just not optimally.  You need to figure out why you're letting things get to you so much that they're taking over your sleep.  You are at the age when these kinds of problems take off, but that doesn't mean you have them.  You're also at an age when you're realizing you're close to being on your own, and that can cause stress.  Things seem really important.  I might ask, do you meditate or exercise?  They can be very helpful for what you're experiencing right now.

Psychologist who specializes in anxiety treatment -- not all do.

Hello, i had a very similar thing in the early days of my anxiety. Trouble sleeping, jerking out of sleep suddenly. I would need more information but i'm guessing you are going through the same thing i did. Anxiety makes you question everything whether it is consciously or unconsciously. Also your anxiety tends to cause you to shrink back from your usual life and pull back into a bubble and your life becomes very short term orientated. because of this you lose your drive and determination to achieve long term goals because you are obsessed with the short term. I got over this by forcing myself outside and to build my social life up. I started just by talking night time walks where it is nice and cool and i could see the stars, If you are at a university try and sign up for some clubs and societies. Also exercise is a very important component of handling anxiety
