hello Im new on this forum, recently I have had a really bad phase in my life starting with a massive panic attack which started my insomnia.
This lasted for three weeks now and i feel worse everyday. bone loss and muscle loss are one of the consequences not to mention anhedonia lack of concnetration and bad memory. I believe my obssesive thinking has led to all of this but I cant shake it off and i feel like my cortisol levels are at an all time high. I dont sweat properly anymore and I feel like the living dead. Could i be a thyroid problem that isn't letting me relax and sleep at night? I'm in my early 20's and don't want to die this way, I just want to get better but I get worse by the hour.
I tried every sleeping pill under the sun but it doesn't seem to have any effect on me anymore, I don't even get any side effects i.e. headaches drowsiness or aches.

Lack of sleep , causes memory and concentration problems and tired and weakness in the muscles. And if your stressing about all of this your making yourself worse . Have you actually seen a doctor.
I would also advise you to cut choclates and sugars out of your diet . As these raise your anxiety levels and drain your energy. I did this a while back and my stress and anxiety just dropped so much , you wouldn't believe. It. And I got my energy back. I go walking every morning now. And this also is great in reducing stress levels. And helps you sleep better at night.

Hey michelle, I crave chocolate and sweets and so i had a lot of sugar today and have a bad headache now... could it be that sugar is making my anxiety worse?
My obsessive thoughts are making me think that i'll never sleep again but I now got to the point where im sick of all of this and just want to sleep so my bad thoughts are slightly going away.

Hi desi.
You sound like I was. I was craving choclate the whole time. I was buying multi pack in the morning and again in the afternoon. I just couldn't get enough. Then I was so tired I kept eating choclate to give me energy. But then my energy would just drop to zero and I'd eat more. But my anxiety went through the roof. I was afraid to stay home alone. I was afraid to drive by myself. I thought I was going mad. I was afraid of every thing. But I gave up the choclates etc because I had put on a bit of weight. And low and behold when I stopped eating it. My anxiety just dropped . I couldn't believe it. I have my life back . And I even go walking every morning now which is also brilliant for the head. But before I was afraid to go for a walk . So I m sure this answers your question. It is so worth it not eating all this choclate. And know even if the kids are eating choclate I, I don't even want it. Good luck with this. 😀
