Well if I have a bad night´s sleep I try to function as best as I can. It is tough for sure, especially when you have 2 small children. (so that sense of responsibility., that I have to take care of them no matter what) I was actually feeling better concerning those anxiety symptoms. I somehow overcame them, I guess by accepting them) But then I´ve had a few nights with no sleep (as I try to leave my bed if I cannot fall asleep) and all these symptoms came back. So I´ve been trying again. If I sleep better, I don´t usually bother about the thoughts, but when I sleep bad, I analyze my sleep all day. Then in the evening, I got scared that for example I am not tired at 9 or 10 pm and think what if I never get tired OR what if I don´t sleep at all for a few consecutive days and it will drive me crazy and I end up taking a sleeping pill after a few bad nights, which is not right. I know.
Dear Scott,
I have one more question. When you had insomnia, did you suffer from anxiety symptoms? Such as feeling nausesous, or you couldn´t eat, shaking etc.? These symptoms seems to be worse that the fatigue. And I am not sure, how to fight them. When I have a really bad night, the next day is awful concerning these symptoms…Hello Scott,
thank you for your prompt reply. I try to do normal daily chores, take care of children and a little bit of excercise at home. I was feeling better, got rid of the anxiety symptoms, like stomach ache, feeling nautious atc. But lately, I´ve had a few nights, where I didn´t sleep at all and it all came back. I feel like, I start from the beginning and I thought I was on a good way…:( I think about sleep a lot, but we cannot control our thoughts right? Just the reaction to them… Whenever I go to bed, I tell myself, you cannot put effort in falling asleep, but I don´t know how to do it. I can´ t help it 🙁
