Hey hang in there. Everything will be alright. I'm the same way. One time right before this last christmas I was asleep and jumped awake dealing with this same "body shutting down ordeal" It seemed so real and I was for sure it was my time to go. My hearing even went wooooom like a downward spiral sound. Like a machine being powered off.I felt extreme love and fear at the same time. I was pleading with god in a whimpering little boy voice please no not yet....I love you. It seemed as if my fear jump started my heart or body again. Kinda like how you put it.I think it's anxiety and when we sleep our worst fears like to jump out and play hellish evil tricks on us. I even heard a demon's voice say " you have cancer" You are dying of heart failure' in my sleep and before I drifted off only to jump awake in a panic. I think it's our brains releasing our inner fears to us in the most wicked cruelest straight forward ways. Be strong. Never give up. Try to think about happy thoughts and the things/people you love. Heck think about buying something you've always wanted. Something to try and keep your mind in a more positive condition prior to falling asleep. I find this helps. Hope I helped you and maybe shed some light on stuff. This IS tough. I'm still dealing with it even at this exact moment. I know I need sleep i've pulled an all nighter from this fear but I believe we still gotta sleep sometime and maybe just say I know I suffer from anxiety, tests showed up good.I mean sometimes we get so tired we just gotta say f*ck it.Hang in there i'm dealing with it to.

I feel so badly that you are experiencing all these feelings. Have you talked to your therapist about this? Why do you think you will die? What meds are you on (maybe not the right ones)? It's obvious you have anxiety...did they prescribe any anti-anxiety med ( not antidepressant)? Keep me posted, let me know, God bless and good luck.
