I really agree with everything everyone has said. Stop the struggle. The way I fall asleep is to let my mind completely wander. The more I try things to sleep the less likely I can fall asleep. Trying techniques and medicine and fighting the negative feelings keep me awake. I know I will have negative thoughts and feeling but just not try and reject them or fight them but just observe them and think they are OK too. If my mind gets hooked on the thoughts then my natural drifting stops and it become hard to fall asleep. Stop the struggle. Sleep is as natural and easy as breathing.
I still am not sleeping. I have tried several sleep aids and nothing seems to help. Does anyone have any suggestions? I am feeling very desperate at this point.
I am currently experiencing one of the worst battles with Insomnia in my life. The forum has helped me already to understand my panic and hyperarousal. I did not know that was a symptom of severe insomnia. I thought something was wrong with me. After several nights of almost no sleep my heart starts to race, I get the chills and intense nausea. I start to panic when I am lying awake and think that I am dying and need to go to the ER. These symptoms make it almost impossible to get to sleep. Any suggestions for getting over these symptoms would be helpful.
