Oh boy somebody shoot me please
I have got into a right old state. If I don't fall asleep within 30 mins I am having major panic/anxiety and then crying for about 2 hrs with rushing to loo because the anxiety always affects my bowels
I then am either taking a sleeping pill or over the counter nytol and getting about 4 hrs sleep.
My husband is being wonderful but I feel awful he has to put up with me.
I have made appt with Dr for Wed and our health authority has a one step self referrel for mental health so have taken the plunge and made phone appt with them. Doubt there will be much on offer but it worth asking.
For some reason not being able to fall asleep has always triggered severe anxiety in me and i have had bad times with it in the past but not for at least 2 years .
I am wondering if this is a reaction to all the bad health news I am having with many friends having cancer diagnosises in the past month or so. I have another friend who is waiting for a PET scan for cancer at the moment.
Then I feel even more guilty that I am having anxiety meltdowns over not being able to fall asleep when my friends are dealing with such huge things. grrrr
Just wanted to talk to people who I feel understand maybe?
