Nightmares, paranoia, and loss of appetite?!


Question: Nightmares, paranoia, and loss of appetite!?
Recently I've had some really weird dreams, granted, I rarely have dreams, and when I do they're usually a bit strange, but they never bother me like this!.
I have alice in wonderland like dreams, if I have them at all!. Just trippy like that, but they usually don't get to me like these latest ones have!.
I had one about getting kidnapped, and another about having a little brother, who had a friend, who was a ghost, who got cut in half by a train, who turned into a headless manniquen once he was dead then my dad went missing and my mom was an oiled up boobjob barbie and i got a sandwich at a newspaper stand!.!.!.
I dont get it, these dreams shouldn't have rattled me, but they did!.
And I'm so freakin paranoid at night, I'm always scared that someone, or something is in the house, even though I know its ridiculous!.
I just have a majorly over active imagination and it usually takes me 1 or 2 hours to fall asleep!.
I'll just be lying there and I always feel like something is in the room!.
I'm also deathly afraid of roaches and we've killed a few in the house in the past week or two!.
I just cant sleep, I end up crashing at like 3 or 4 in the morning and waking up at 2 the next afternoon!.
I need to fix this quick! I've got school coming up in 25 days!
And for the past week or so, I'll be really hungry, and i'll take two bites of dinner, and I'll be full!.
And I know I dont have an eating disorder, because I KNOW i'm not fat!.
Thing is, I'm a simple foods kind of girl, and my stepmom likes to make all these weird dinners, chicken pasta and pesto, chicken fetuchinii alfredo and stuff like that!. With a bunch of extra seasonings and weird cheeses and like white wine marinara sauce!.
But I like spaghetti!. Just throw some noodles in the pot and dump some plain old generic red sauce in there and eat it!.
I like pizza!. I like Ramen!. I like plain easy, simple foods!.
So for the past couple nights, I just havent had any appetite!. But tonight, we went to CiCi's and I ate half a pizza!.
What's going on!?

You could try it too and when you do it think of something else!.Anything else that gets your mind off your surroundings!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well, the best suggestion I can give is to listen to some of your favorite songs!. Whether they make you sad, or happy, or angry, just!.!.!.if you like them, play them at a volume just enough to hear it somewhere across the room, maybe even from another room!. If not that, get some audio of rainfall or something!.!.!. drink some tea with warm milk or something, you know!? Just, some sort of familiar noise, or smell!. Something that you recognize, and are either content or happy with, perhaps comfortable with!. Maybe a scarf you got for a present!.!.!.something that keeps a homey, soothing tie to your conscious mind!. ^^

As for the food thing, try suggesting that your stepmom make a part of the dish as extravagant as she likes, and then use only one spice on another part of it!. Or, only use half on the entire meal one night, then experiment the other night, etc!.!.!. it gives her more of a test, keeps the stuff as she likes it, but at the same time gives you more that looks nice to you, personally!.

Other than that, eh, sometimes a person just isn't too hungry!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
