(I’m so sorry for my English.) This morning I witnessed special events. It happened about half an hour after the alarm rang, I was awake, but I had a little longer time. Not usually lie in bed a long time, but yesterday I had a very busy day. I live in a dorm with two classmates. Although they are nice, we're not too close.
I was lying on the side, my back facing the girls (face facing the wall). I suddenly felt that somebody touched me. I had closed my eyes.
First I had a pretty good feeling, I thought it was someone from my family (currently I don’t have boyfriend) who wanted me to wake up.
But then I realized that I'm not home. I stayed lying and I made no movement. One roommate left the room before, so I thought it was the other roommate. But she never touched me before.
It occurred to me that she is sleeping. In the past, she said she was sleepwalking child. I was scared, but I still did not move. Someone or something has received a strong hug from behind around the waist. I felt like someone was lying on my back.
After a while I heard a roommate to breathe (she was sleeping). I began to worry even more.
I do not know how long that moment lasted, but it was very strong hug. If I was not afraid, I think I could break free from the embrace. I was very scared, so I was hoping that it's just my roommate (who is sleepwalking). I felt very uncomfortable. Why is she doing this? It must be her.
After a while (I do not know how long it takes) I heard that the other roommate returned to the room. I lay motionless, I pretended to be asleep.
I don’t want her to think, that we have a relationship together. I do not want any relationship with her, why did she do it? I felt very bad.
But when the other roommate came back, he did not look in surprise. That was strange. Then I realized that the roommate still asleep in bed.
I dreamed it? I imagined it?
If I dreamed, why it was so real touch and feelings so intense? On average, I can distinguish dream from reality, sometimes there are situations when I hesitate. But when I got up today and in the bathroom thinking about the whole event I had no doubt I had to happen.
If I thought it would be, why would I imagine that embrace me roommate? Why, for example, it was not a boy that interest me? In the morning I felt very bad. What does this mean?
Please advise me, Am I fine?
Thank You for your answer

No problem. You should have someone though, even if it's not a roommate, but a close friend you trust with things like this.
Mental illness, also called mental health disorders, refers to a wide range of mental health conditions — disorders that affect your mood, thinking, and behavior. Examples of mental illness include depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, eating disorders, and addictive behaviors.
Many people have mental health concerns from time to time. But a mental health concern becomes a mental illness when ongoing signs and symptoms cause frequent stress and affect your ability to function. there are the following symptoms and causes of mental illness or disorder.
Symptoms:
1) Feeling sad or down
2) Confused thinking or reduced ability to concentrate
3) Excessive fears or worries, or extreme feelings of guilt
4) Extreme mood changes of highs and lows
5) Withdrawal from friends and activities
6) Significant tiredness, low energy, or problems sleeping
7) Detachment from reality (delusions), paranoia, or hallucinations
8) Inability to cope with daily problems or stress
9) Trouble understanding and relating to situations and to people
10) Problems with alcohol or drug use
11) Major changes in eating habits
12 )Sex drive changes
13) Excessive anger, hostility, or violence
14) Suicidal thinking
Causes:
1) Inherited traits. Mental illness is more common in people whose blood relatives also have a mental illness. Certain genes may increase your risk of developing a mental illness, and your life situation may trigger it.
2) Environmental exposures before birth. Exposure to environmental stressors, inflammatory conditions, toxins, alcohol, or drugs while in the womb can sometimes be linked to mental illness.
It's understandable to question your mental health if you're experiencing symptoms or feelings that are difficult to manage or understand. Recognizing that you might need help is an important first step. Here are some signs that might indicate the presence of a mental health disorder:
Persistent Sadness or Irritability: Feeling down, depressed, or irritable most of the day nearly every day.
Excessive Worry or Anxiety: Being excessively worried about different things, feeling tense, or having difficulty controlling feelings of fear.
Changes in Eating or Sleeping Habits: Significant changes in appetite or sleep patterns, such as too much or too little of either.
Difficulty Concentrating: Finding it hard to focus on tasks at work or school or to follow conversations.
Withdrawal from Social Activities: Losing interest in hobbies or activities that were once enjoyable, including withdrawing from social interactions.
Extreme Mood Swings: Experiencing severe mood swings that cause problems in relationships.
Unexplained Physical Symptoms: Having physical symptoms like headaches, stomachaches, or other pains without a clear cause.
Thoughts of Self-harm or Suicide: Thinking about harming yourself or having thoughts of suicide.
If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, it might be helpful to reach out for professional help. Mental health disorders are complex and can only be diagnosed by qualified healthcare providers, such as psychologists or psychiatrists, who can offer a comprehensive assessment.
Remember, seeking help is a sign of strength. Many effective treatments are available, and professionals can work with you to develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs. Early intervention can make a significant difference in recovery and the overall quality of life.
Thank You for your answer Lucan. I never told anybody about it did not say. (I was afraid of their reaction.) I was very scared before, but now I feel better. Never before has anything like this happen to me. I decided if I was in the future something similar happens, then visited a specialist. Thank You once again.
