Thank you for sharing your experience. It has been astounding to me to learn how common the problem of “I can’t sleep because I’m afraid of not being able to sleep” actually is.
External anxiety is definitely a huge factor. I’m working with a therapist and a psychiatrist to try to learn how to handle all the things that are coming at me right now. I believe that being able to address some of the anxiety with my mom and her sickness will put me in a much better place to be able to handle things without medication. I’m not there yet, but I’m working on it.
The sleep anxiety is harder for me to see my way out of. I’m reading my emails from Martin Reed and doing the suggested follow up research, and listening to episodes of the podcast when I get the time. I’m at the point right now where I can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel, but I’m starting to believe that there is one.
