This is helpful to read as I am in the same boat. Thank you everyone for posting and sharing!
Thanks Chris. It feels so bizarre not to let my body fall asleep at 8:30 when it is so tired. In the past, I would have just given in and crashed at 8:30 or 9…but I am really wanting to try this to give it a fair shot. I think tonight when it happens I will get up off the couch and just move around more….I think I may have let my self nod off a little too much at 8:30. But man my body is just so bone tired at that hour it is hard to go in the opposite direction! Good luck to you.
Hi Chris- I also have the internal tremor thing. And have also experienced the knot in stomach. The tremor I feel used to involve actual shaking, now it is just kind of diffuse electrical buzz thing. It’s very odd but I’m pretty sure it is anxiety. I have been doing deep diaphragm breathing to help. But still not out of the woods yet. I understand the boat you are in.
I appreciate your post and am in the same boat. It has been 2 months of really bad insomnia and my mental health is taking a huge toll. I was prescribed Restoril about 5 weeks ago, which is a Benzo…2 of them work but I am trying to taper myself off of them.
Depression and anxiety have increased for me. I just started practicing sleep restriction but it is intensifying the daytime depression/anxiety…I am assuming that in the next few days my body will just decide to sleep. This is so hard.
