I’m well acquainted with nocturnal panic. He kept me company for many years. In addition to Martin’s course, Dr. Claire Weekes’ book (Hope And Help For Your Nerves) helped me a lot. There she teaches total acceptance and floating on bouts of anxiety and fear. Hope it helps you like it helped me.
What a great placement Chee2308, It all depends on my outlook and my beliefs about the situation. If I spend all night awake, in love, and making out with the love of my life, the next day I’ll be on cloud nine. Sleepless but happy. That wouldn’t hurt me and the next night I would sleep exhausted. But if I spend the entire night without sleep, since then, worried, nervous, anxious and panicked, I will be destroyed by morning. It all depends on my interpretation and how I let myself be affected by it. The more I suffer awake at night, the more insomnia I have. It’s like I’ve fed a monster that will eventually eat me up. Thank you all. This forum helps me a lot. (using translator)
I understand perfectly! As long as I don’t abandon combat, I will always lose this war. Who will decide when and how I sleep is my body. As much as I try to help, it only gets worse. Just as he knows how long he’s going to live he also knows how long and how I’m going to sleep. I need to surrender to this greater force. I think that everything I’ve tried so far, all treatments, techniques and medications, only made my suffering worse. I really appreciate having been lucky enough to meet you.
First of all Chee2308 , thank you very much for your precious guidance, it has helped me a lot. I come from a 20-year-old painting without sleeping at all. I used to stay in bed for 10 hours to get to sleep only 4 hours. She survived exhausted, without energy and without the will to live. This course saved my life. I am so grateful!
What confuses me is that doing Sleep Restriction, I learned that if I stay awake with insomnia, I must get out of bed. I think I end up quickly leaving for fear that insomnia will return. At the beginning of the course I got out of bed 3 times a night. It was crazy. I was exhausted. How do I know when to get out of bed?
That night, after his orientations, I didn’t get up and slept straight for 6 hours, with some quick interruptions, but without anxiety.
Can you guide me? Sorry for the English, using translator. – Brazil
