Hi. New to this site. I've dealt with anxiety for awhile now. I had it under control for about 6 years and then last October it game back with gusto. I'm fearful of sleeping because I'm so focused on not sleeping so it keeps me up. There will be months that I'm good and I sleep perfectly normal and then something triggers in my brain and I don't sleep for awhile and then right back to sleeping fine.. I feel like I'm crazy because this isn't something that I should be so anxious about. I just want to feel and be my normal self again and I'm fearful that won't ever happen...Considering medication to just help me along for a little bit but I just want to know that I really am not alone. Anyone else have dealt with something similar??
