Is it normal to wake up in the middle of the night, scared?

It's pretty rare, but sometimes I sleepwalk to a random area in my house, then I wake up (while still standing) and I always feel this weird feeling of fear and I start crying and once I couldn't sleep so I tried to stay up until morning. I waited 2 hours just sitting down and walking around until I went to the bathroom, finished pissing, and then I felt normal again. What is this? Do I have brain problems?

    That doesn't sound healthy. I would recommend you visiting a doctor or if it turns out that it's a psychological problem - a psychotherapist. I hope you get rid of your problem soon :)

    Sounds like panic attacks. Tell your doctor about it.

    I’ve never sleep walked. But I have woken myself up sobbing with a feeling of devastation. The feeling stays even after I know I’m awake and I continue to cry. It’s awful.

      Is it from a nightmare?

    Not normal but on a few occasions I have woken up with unsettling feeling I cannot properly explain, its not even obvious by what I dreamed about, but that is rare. Sleepwalking is not normal

    That sounds absolutely terrifying to me.
