Here we go again

It’s just gone 3am here in the UK, I have had a few hours sleep but just woke up suddenly again, got a slight anxiety feeling going on so I decided not to fight it and got out of bed went down stairs made a cup of camomile tea, put the tv on and just trying to relax. The anxiety is slowly drifting away. Hopefully I can go back to bed and get a few more hours sleep. It seems this is how I’m going to be able to manage this rather than having to fight it. Well I’ve got a weekend away in Windermere with my wife let’s hope I can get some sleep there and I’m seeing the doctor on Monday. All positives.

My heart goes out to all of us that suffer with anxiety/panic attacks during the night,it’s such a burden

Glad the anxiety is feeling more controlled.

Have you tried meditation? Or music? Something to occupy your mind?

I hope you get back to bed and have a restful sleep.

A weekend away sounds wonderful. I hope you both have a great time.

I've had that recurring problem most of my life since I was 17. 2am on the dot, I'll wake up with this tremendous weight. It's trauma related. I'm in my 40's now. But recently, I've found something that helps. I have a lava lamp on a timer that turns on at 9pm and shuts off at 5am. If I wake up and the lava lamp is on, I don't move and just wait for my body to go back to sleep.

Good luck with your appointments and I hope you two plan on some exploring and nice dining out or something!! I wake all the time too. I’m sleeping on the couch a lot from pain. I just get some water watch a movie fall asleep before it’s done lol then I watch the rest when I wake again. Feel so lazy
