WHAT'S HAPPENING..??

[Nickels7991]

It's been 2 days, all i seem to be doing is sleeping. THAT'S SO NOT ME AT ALL. YRS I'VE SUFFERED WITH INSOMNIA. ALSO I FEEL LIKE MY ANXIETY HAS RETURNED. It's like my body has done a flip on me. I'm getting agitated so easily. My breathing is different & my body feels like it HAS to be in fight or flight mode. 24/7. I feel as if i'm back at the beginning. Which was 20+yrs ago..!! Yes i feel like i'm losing it. I don't have family, or any support whatsoever..!! I'm so scared..!!

Hi,

Maybe your body has done a flip. Fed up with the insomnia so has taken matters into it's own hands... a bit like "burn out". You could really need the rest, try not to convince yourself this is wrong.

You can go on only for so long on poor sleep, it will always catch up on you though Especially now you are feeling anxious, your body and mind will definitely need rest.

Perhaps the fear of it returning is understandably making these last few days even worse?

Try relax and don't worry about the over sleeping right now, see it as a chance to restore some energy, it's always good to tackle issues with a rested mind

Your body is telling you that you need sleep. Your body cannot continue without it. I was the same I slept for 2 days off and on which was odd because normally once I am awake that's it I can't go back to sleep but once I haven't had enough sleep I can then sleep for hours without any worries. My anxiety is bad if I dint get enough sleep. Good luck and stay strong X

The weird part about all this, is my "catch up" sleep, would normally only be 3-4 hrs sleep. I suffer from ADHD, i take Dexamphetamine for that, but nothing for my insomnia. This also has been the same for yrs. I think that's why my anxiety has come back. (Triggered my anxiety). It's weird because the meds for my Panic Disorder, is a downer, then i have my meds, which are an upper..!! Before the 2 days. I had been under so much stress non stop for 3 days. My mind is blank, not even racing like normal. Thank u for responding, it means a lot to me. ☺
