      I’ve suffered health anxiety for a while but recently it’s been added to with being unable to sleep. I’ve done 2 nights with little to no sleep. I’ve had panic attacks in the night fearing I will never sleep again. I don’t know how to help myself.

        Hi @Bellabunting,

        Welcome to the forum! The good news is that we don’t lose our ability to sleep. We may have significant sleep disruptions with some nights of no sleep but our sleep drive eventually wins over our arousal of not sleeping. What is it about not sleeping that is causing you so much anxiety? You might explore the idea of changing your relationships with your thoughts that are causing you anxiety towards sleep. When I experienced insomnia, my thoughts were crippling until I began to say, “so what, what’s the worst thing that can happen?” when those thoughts of not sleeping at night arrived. Do you think that would be beneficial?
