Insomnia.

[Chappy12]

Really worried have PTSD and OCD in past..haven't had a great year due to health anxiety after being referred to drs for numerous tests..I've been left with a fear of dying in my sleep..some nights I'm good but others it's horrendous...what can I do..I have experienced a lot of bereavement this year along with losing two of my own children years ago in two different incidents...just want this fear to go away and sleep..any advice thank you

what a terrible time you've had have you spoken your doctor about not being able to sleep I was diagnosed with ptsd when my dad died suddenly and I was prescribed a mild sedative due to having night terrors .

Yes I have..don't like tablets did sleep restriction and CBT...was sleeping fine through holidays..just moved back in with my partner now I'm having bad memories about how bad my insomnia was before I left think it's the fear of it returning..couldn't sleep Monday night..slept 9hrs the next and four last nite 9pm till 1am urggg..😧had it really bad in June was awake 36hrs then sleeping 12..sleeping every other nite it was awful..went on for two weeks then sleep pattern came back gradually..it's a insecurity thing I think

It all started when I kept waking up shaking in January..I had tests on heart lungs blood 24hr urine etc..I actually thought I was going to die ...all my tests were clear..my friend died in the October before and my partner's sister was dying from cancer....then came my fear of dying in my sleep because I started not sleeping..all the drs put it down to was stress and my body had had enough...I was getting better then my grandad died..sleep was returning if just a few hrs a night I would get ten the next..now I'm scared I'm going backwards again
