Does anybody like me find that sleep is the only time you can escape your anxiety?

Yes!

It is the only time I feel truly relaxed and safe at the moment. Take all my meds all cosy in with electric blanket and the dog. Bliss. The only escape I get at the moment.

Hi Spangle

Say it again!!!

It is strange because i was saying the same when i woke up around 12:30 today. My days starts after 12:00, even at 2pm sometimes when i'm off from work especially now that its cold and dark. Somebody once said i'm sleeping my life away but i dont care as long as my body rest and recuperates from all the inside and outside stresses of life.

I find sleep is the best remedy thats why i cant cope even with trivial things if i'm deprived of sleep. I value my sleep that i even avoid morning appointments.

So Lets all sleep our anxieties away, away lol!!!

Would be great if we could all hibernate in the winter and wake up in the spring xx

[Hidden in reply to mimii]

Totally agree x

[Spangle in reply to mimii]

It certainly would. Think of all the money you would save.

I'm the other way I feel scared to go to sleep in case I don't wake up :/

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

I'm the opposite. I try to sleep as much as I can,to get through the day. Its when I wake up that I feel sick :l

Thanks everybody for your thoughts about sleep. I think it is so important when you have anxiety issues. I often have a nap when I get home from work. Sweet dreams.

I'm only replying as your hours...........are mine as well. In fact, sometimes straight through as I'm manic at the moment. My previous reply obviously alluded to my depressed state.
