So who all of a sudden wakes up from a deep sleep in an anxiety attack. Well me of course. And I'm so not happy. All I want is sleep that's it. When will this get better?

Oh no that is not good. I'm full of anxiety also. Do u take any sleeping aids? Do u know what triggered this anxiety? When you do wake up like this does it take you long to fall back asleep or do u even go back to sleep?

You should try it, it might work. I do my best to drink tea everyday I drank one before bed but I guess it only lasted till 2:30 am. I know one day in the near future we all going to get a restful sleep

Right now I can’t even move. I pulled some muscles in my back and my right thigh. I’m in horrible pain. I can’t stop crying.

I just woke from a cramp in my right calf and cannot fall bank asleep because my mind is going crazy thinking about my depressing life. I am now using tee time to explore this site and get to know people so tat I have someone to share my story and give back. I'm sorry you're feeling the way you are. I know how much it sucks because I also just want to sleep in peace. I'm not diagnosed with anything yet but the feelings you guys are describing are very similar to mines. Thank you for sharing.
