Loud thoughts/ voices just before falling asleep.

Hi jojo,  I have had the same sort of thing as you on and off for years.  I agree with you when you shut your eyes you see people and hearing people in your head.  It was like when I nearly fell a sleep it was like someone saying in my head wake up so I did.  It frightened my that I wasn't getting any sleep and in my head this wasn't normal and I felt I was going crazy and that people and the doctor would think I'm going mad.  But this is not the case, it's the anxiety that is doing this to you.  The brain is a very powerful thing and it can plays tricks with you.  Once the tablets kick in you will start to feel normal again.  What tablets ate you on.  You will be surprised how many people feel like us, at the time you feel all alone and know one else can ever feel like you do, but there are millions.  Good luck you will get through this. Regards DebbieDebbie

Hi Joe anxiety has always been my main issue with sleep the less sleep you get the more anxious you become. I use to get quite obsessed with the whole thing and worrying about my mental illness . New reserch is saying insomnia is learned behaviour i beleive this to be true . I have found ways to help with anxiety have you ever considered going to a good homeopath ? I found homeopathy really helpful , as i did get some tablets from the doctors for about a wk . I would worry about becoming addicted to them. I also started a yoga class when i was really bad helped my anxiety loads deep breathing is great. I still have bad night but i dont let it get too me as much good luck

Hi Jo, that was what I was on for three years but I had to have the dosage up every couple of months to get me thinking right.  I was on the highest dosage and when my anxiety came back two months ago they couldn't up it but put me on a different table that has worked a lot quicker.  I've it time to get kicked in and it will, and if you still don't feel right they will up the dosage.  Good luck DebbieDebbie

OK Jojoxxx, it's really important to get the order of things here. When did the words start getting loud. Was it before or after your dosage was increased?
