Anxiety cant control my life

I have battled with this before, last time was worse than this time. I do believe that I can get past this, I just wish I could get a full night sleep.

I know exactly what you mean. I didn't know to blame anxiety for it. Please write to me and explain this if you are willing. You certainly don't want anxiety controlling a thing like inadequate sleep night after night if you can prevent it.

Like I will be asleep for like 3 to 4 hours then I will suddenly wake up and wake up felling anxious, so it makes it hard to sleep

Yes, it sure does. I wake up often after 3 hours of sleep and want to get going on the days' tasks but when I do that I make it hard to go back to sleep. But my body doesn't want to go back to sleep at that time. Later in the day my body is crying out for a nap. It's so fickle!! I don't nap well at all. I just keep going, exhausted as I am. So it's somewhat similar to yours. You have anxiety keeping you awake and I have excitement for the tasks of the new day keeping me awake.

I always try to praise God and give him thanks for what I am asking for in advance. I will keep you in my prayers friend, soon someday this will all be behind us.
