Good morning. I will begin by saying I have had a terrible stressful year beyond what I could have ever imagined. I lost my husband of 26 years to cancer during the pandemic. That left me with financial issues which is why I can’t take the course right now. That said I took the free 14 day course and my sleep improved @ 90%. I had mostly eliminated sleep aids. One night I took no Xanax and had rebound insomnia. I only slept 3 hours. I fell back into the pattern of waking up after 3 hours several nights in a row, panicking, and then taking .5 mg Xanax. I want to get out of this pattern. I go to sleep @ 9:00 and wake up @ 11:30-12:00. I get up and down and then I start to panic after an hour of the “racing mind.” I finally give up and take a Xanax to “get me through the night.” Whenever I get into these loops I feel like they will never end and I will be like this the rest of my life. Is there any hope?
Additional information: I spoke with my doc and he wants to put me on restoril which is a hypnotic. I am scared of hypnotics and do not want to to that.
Be fair to your self. Grief is the biggest monster a person has to deal with. I know. That along with financial worries would make any human walk the floors at night. You will move forward positively. Be gentle to yourself. All the best.
