New fear killing me
Posted , 6 users are following.
I'm scared I have insomnia! I can't sleep! I haven't had a decent sleep in 2 days! I don't want to hallucinate! I want to sleep! I think there's a storm coming where Ill just lose it all. Hypochondriac and lack of sleep, I'll probably go mad, go insane! I thought I was getting bette. Before yesterday I felt calm, peaceful, joyful, but now it's coming back. Insomnia might just kill me. I don't feel sleepy at all! I'm worried of my health with the lack of sleep, both physically and mentally. Just wish I could just live a normal life.

Im same with you, for this past two months, my sleep never coming back to normal, half awake half asleep, the more you worry the more you cant sleep, just relax lay down, closed your eyes and visualize a big tree infront of you, and put there all ur worries, or better you prayed, prayer is so magical, when im so scared of not sleeping, i pray alot until i didnt know i was sleep atleast two hours 😊

Hello Sam,
Insomnia is going to be a little bit hard to deal with at first but I would like to suggest that you talk to your psychiatrist and therapist and let them know exactly what is triggering the insomnia. Anxiety. That way you can get onto the correct medication for what is happening with you right now. It's not forever. Most people who have insomnia had it even as early as childhood so it's one of the things that are diagnosed rather quickly. But I believe it when you say you're having it now. Just remember to talk to your doctor and bring everything to light and make sure they know exactly what you are experiencing. It'll help some with medications and the rest will be up to you and your therapist to figure out what is causing the anxiety which is triggering the insomnia. Best of luck and God bless you,
Masha

Hi Sam. When my anxiety was at worst I never slept, perhaps 2 months I would nod off when exhausted then wake with a start, like a shock. I wanted sleep but was also scared to sleep . I woul stay awake until2am, sometimes fall asleep, wake at 4, 5. Heart racing as I was anxious about my lack of sleep as well as everything else. Docs can help with meds. I had my mum over to stay as I didn't feel as scared if she was there ' felt scared not sleeping with racing thoughts and worries, ' and if I did drop off she was there when I woke, crazy but helped. Very gradually I started to get back to a better sleep pattern( thank god) thought I would go mad) D of put it down to another bad episode of anxiety( another symptom) hope yours passes, if not have a word with your gp, good luck, know how frustrating it is,😊??

Did you go to the docs and got medicine? I haven't, nor do I want to. I don't want medicine that will MAYBE cure my anxiety, or maybe make it worse! My anxiety is not that bad. I can still do things if I want. Just FALLING asleep is hard.

Hi Sam. If you are totally against trying medication you will be advised to try therapy, relaxation techniques, mindfulness, meditation etc, change of routine and diet,etc, everybody is different but gp should offer advice on trying to get to the route of things and discuss options, . Yes I did take medication at one point when my anxiety and insomnia was unbearable, then I gradually needed to only take meds very rarely when in a panic or extremely anxious. Hope this helps, hope you get get back into a better sleep routine soon it really is exhausting and frustrating.😊??
