Help haven't slept 4 three day I'm crying and scared I had this before 3 years ago it came back but it doesn't make me feel any better last time I had anxiety and panic attacks but this time I don't feel stressed so I don't know why I can't sleep help

Sorry to hear this. I have sleeping issues from time to time too. Its quite common for someone with depression/anxiety but can happen to anyone. You certainly are not alone. Maybe something has triggered this? Sometimes our subconscious can play strange tricks on us. Try not to worry over the fact you haven't slept for several days, because inevitably that isn't going to help. Speak to your GP also. I have recently been recommended an app that you can download onto your phone/tablet called pzizz. Its a sleeping aid and is pretty good. You listen to the recording and it really helps soothe your feelings. The app is designed by people who know what its like and it can be a good support. Let us know how you get on.

Hi there,I completely know what you are going through as its become a phobia with me.What happens is the stess your feeling causes too much cortisol and thats why you cant relax to sleep.Im afraid im going through the same just now.I persuaded the doc for a few sleeping pills and now ive sent for melatonin.Hope you get better its a horrible exprience.

I have been having sleep problems for many many years. I cannot get to sleep without taking my meds. It's important to see a doctor so that he/she can help choose what meds would be best for you.
