Insomnia- Health anxiety
Posted , 6 users are following.
For the past 3 weeks i have had pretty severe insomnia- maybe 3-4 hours of broken sleep and very vivid dreams like ive never had before. On top of that my pulse has shot up from what is normally around 60 to 80 bpm and also constipation . The scary thing is the only thing these symptoms match is sporadic fatal insomnia and now i am utterly convinced i have this. Even if you say ok , you have anxiety you cant sleep, well my heartrate and constipation point to a dysfunction seen in fatal insomnia-- i feel like im going crazy - please help

I know it can feel like hell, but you'll recover; I'd go see a doctor to get some peace of mind.
When I first started getting insomnia, I barely got 1-2 hours sleep a night, sometimes not a single second of sleep, it felt like hell, and worrying about it only made it worse. Once you get control of your anxiety, you'll start feeling better, also exercising regularly helps. I'm a big fan of meditation, on the nights when I can't sleep, I'll meditate for an hour knowing that my body and mind are resting, not as good as sleep, but it's pretty close when you get used to it.

Dear rfarrell86
For long as i lived i had sleep issues better said anxiety about sleep from a childhood event that left me with this issue one thing to keep in mind is that insomnia is always caused by another problem its just a symptom because the humans are born with the biological clock. There is something that is causing your insomnia that you may figure out why for example in my case is anxiety i have severe severe anxiety which im going through right now again for my sleep i wish i could find another issue to worry about but yeah..: i thought maybe going off medication its gonna be better but everytime i went off it came back with revenge always harsher then it was always more impossible to beat, this time after having some bad nights sleep caused by my obsessive anxious thinking for sleep i have started to believe i will end up with Sfi same like you yesterday i had a panic attack im scared to go to sleep because i feel like one night i will end up not sleeping at all and i will develop this im exhausted thonking and being anxious about it wich lead to me being very depressed and thinking of how terrible terrible this disease is fear for my future for no reason my brain doesnt want me to think rationally that this disease is so rare that actually based on my research its only of a boy of 16 years old that is shown evidence but not too much information concerning that matter friend and forget about fatal insomnia i can assure you that is something you will never have its hereditary its is just our thoughts you will sleep actually i have nights when i sleep very good but this thought is just eating me alive what i would suggest you is think positively even when u feel like you can not there is this person who once wrote in this forum about insomnia and how he got over it by not worrying about it it still amazes me. Everything will be okay be positive
