@richalrk it looks like you have purchased the course since you now have the client badge. Just curious what you think of it so far? Are you happy in your decision to purchase? Thinking I will also join, but unsure which format as it’s a lot to spend without really knowing what you get.
3perectgirls I can relate in a way to your situation. Had a relapse in anxiety from a medication withdrawal. Ended up with nocturnal anxiety/panic. Where I believe my current insomnia is rooted. Even though I’m no longer having the nocturnal panic attacks. Given some Lorazepam to help sleep initially. (Not using anymore because I don’t want to be on long term because of fear of possible withdrawal issues. Traumatized from the original withdrawal.) Finding the nights I can’t sleep now that I have a tough time the next day functioning due to anxiety creeping in with no sleep. Hard to implement Martin’s advice of “continuing to live your normal life.” Would love to also hear if anyone experienced similar things, and overcame this.
Thank you for sharing. I have struggled with anxiety/panic for many years. Never had any issue with it interfering with sleep. Sleep was always the one thing that gave me a break from it. In December I had a relapse of anxiety/panic from trying to go off meds. It began with feelings of anxiety and hyperarousal waking me up. It finally got so bad I needed some medication to help me sleep. I am better now that I’m back on the original medication, but the insomnia stuck around. I will have a few nights of sleep, and then a night of no sleep. It definitely increases my anxiety. I am also glad to see that someone else mentioned the myoclonus jerks when falling asleep. I too get them when I am stressed. It can get you spiraling about all the bad things they could be. Plus you try so hard to not have them that you put yourself in hyperarousal trying to prevent them. Thus keeping sleep at bay. Considering doing the 6 week program after this 14 day free course.
