In need of reassurance about insomnia
Posted , 10 users are following.
Feeling anxious and worried about lack of sleep on my health and that it will kill me. I've had this problem about 10 years ago somehow got rid of it then it come back again for about 12 months then the last 9 days I've really struggled!I keep fixating that every cold I have appendicitis I had 5 years ago is all caused by lack of sleep. Now I'm waiting for something else to go wrong which is keeping me up so it's like a vicious cycle. It doesn't help that since I was a little girl I have always had health anxiety so this is where the problems stem from plus I'm naturally a worrier anyway but the sleep thing is the one that consumes me. Please just need reassurance xx

Thurs 3 hrs ( feel like sh..)
Frid 6 hrs ( hooray)
Sat convinced myself I wouldn’t sleep tonight and didn’t!! Why can’t I sleep!
As you can see not much sleep . Even if you are sleeping 6 hrs every other night that is enough for you to function on. Sometimes you get more sleep than you think you do. Though at its worse I know I was getting no sleep at all. Once I started not focusing on it so much it improved. Don’t let it ruin your life and you will sleep properly again eventually x

Oh no what are we like. I'm off work till Tues and I'm spoiling my time off by worrying I won't sleep Monday nyt as I'm working 7am till 6pm Tues, I shouldn't even be thinking about it now. We are very similar aren't we worrying about ifs buts and maybes. Have u spoke to your husband about your concerns! Xx

Hi I hope you had a lovely time visiting your son? And hope you didn't stress too much about sleep. Well the last couple of nights I have had weird sleep , like I feel half asleep half awake! I've had this before for months too but that was years ago, plus waking lots like a feeling of have I been awake or asleep, just wondering if you have ever had this too! Xx

Yes I’ve had that too. Also sometimes I don’t know if I have slept or not! Didn’t sleep great whilst away but I never do. Not too bad last night but kept waking up and dreaming. Arghhhh! X

I think when we have that feeling of have I slept or not it's lighter broken sleep. What are we like. Hope you've had a lovely time with your family anyway x
