      Hi AnnMarie – I understand exactly what you’re going through because I had insomnia for 10 very difficult months. I was depressed and at times feeling hopeless too. If CBT-I isn’t working for you, there’s another therapy called ACT, which I used and am now free of insomnia. Check out the book, The Sleep Book, by Dr. Guy Meadows. This therapy focuses on reducing anxiety so that we naturally begin to fall asleep, just like we did before the insomnia. There’s a thread here called, ACT for Insomnia, that you can visit and get help implementing this.

        Thank you for responding, Martin, Deb and Jonathan. I feel so desperate and sad all the time. I actually ordered the ACT book last night after going through the thread on it. I also do listen to the podcasts Martin. I just can’t seem to get out of my own way. I will continue to try because I honestly don’t have any other options. I feel very sick now due to the sleep restriction and my demanding job. I’ll persevere. I appreciate all your help. And Jonathan I will look that up.
