Change in sleep pattern

[Hope4me1]

I have anxiety disorder and depression and just wondering if anyone out there knows anything about what I am experiencing now. I’m waking up many times during the night and just sooth myself back to sleep. But at about 4 am I wake in a panic and can’t seem to get back to sleep! This is new for me, I have been sleeping well up to now.

Same!the last two months I’ve been waking up at the exact same time every morning with a racing heart and feelings of dread.

Prior to this I slept great and was my only escape!i hate anxiety!!!

I’m usually a pretty positive person, but this is disheartening. I know what you are going through and wish you peace and calm for your soul, just as I pray for this for myself. Thank you for responding. Talk with me anytime.❤️

Thank you so much,and to you.

Sleep is so important,especially when you have anxiety.and when it’s disturbed it feels terrible.i hope you manage to get back into a good sleep and feel better soon😊

Thank you. I am waiting on therapy to start and be seen by a P doc. I don’t have insurance and rely on a clinic that is very busy. Hopefully better times ahead.

Hi I also suffer from depression and anxiety and this happens to me every night to and has been for about 3 months now. I wake up at half 3 every night without fail and struggle to get back to sleep. Its really horrible so I know how u feel. What medication are u on? X

[Hope4me1 in reply to Joanna3]

I am taking Fluoxetine, Clonazepam and CBD. Like I said above I need to be assessed by a psychiatrist for meds, but have to wait as the clinic is so back logged. Not sure what I am taking now is effective for me. That’s why I am still having reoccurring symptoms.
