Anxiety Forum

Q1. Well, i have been on such a great recovery from my panic disorder. The only thing really bothering me anymore is my sleeping. If anyone can relate, let's say i go to sleep at around 10pm. I'd wake up around 3am, maybe get something to drink and turn on the tv. After about 20min i'll try going to bed again and just lay there for probably an hour, without no sign of tiredness. I used to be able to go days on 5hours, even less at sometimes. Now with anxiety i really contemplate my sleep. I try to go by the charts(8hours of sleep per day) and now if i get any less than that, i'm afraid throughout the day i'll feel a little sleepy and PASS OUT! Which, i have never done before. My anxiety starts making me feel sick and tired so i end up going back to sleep at like 8-9am??

Oh yes, this happens to me as well. So when I find this happens, i start taking my low dose ativan pill when I go to sleep (it acts as a sleeping pill.)I should really inquire about sleeping sedatives at the pharmacy.

Strange too, because I have been working out at the gym and walking a lot so I really should not be waking up in the middle of the night.

Last night, I slept through bec. I took an ativan.

I think I might be mildly depressed: I can't find employment though I am trying and I feel low because a person who was once part of my life, is no longer. I was there for him when he was experiencing low times but he has since decided I am unimportant and take up too much of his time.

Strange how life works.....or is it just that males turn on the heat when they want it....but when they find others, they make like nothing was ever wrong in their lives.

Glad to be talking to you.
