Can’t sleep

Me again at 1:30am not being able to sleep 😡.. I think my anxiety had flared up tonight about my sore back and everything that’s happened recently! I keep slightly nodding off then I wake up in a fright and I feel numb everywhere like I can’t move! Even when I’m awake now I still feel partly numb like my arms won’t work properly 😞 can anyone help?

I know exactly how you feel , mine is more like I seem to lose my breath ,and then wake up ,it doesn’t happen every time ,but maybe these things happen when we are at our most anxious , I take a half of a 2 mg of diazepam it seems to help a bit x

Thank you Susan! Hopefully it’ll calm down soon and I’ll drift off. I have a reality tv show on, a wet flannel on my head and a hot water bottle to sooth me haha x
