Hi did you manage any sleep last night

It is awful dont know what else to suggest to you.Sleep will come though your body will make it,when you go to bed deep breathe and say in your mind on the in breath blue for calm and on the out breath red for danger and imagine something blue,that helps me to calm down

Hi yes everything takes time there was a blog on here that had tips for sleeping take a look at it may help

You poor thing. I had this last year and it's truly terrible. I ended up in a&e over a bank holiday weekend as I thought I was losing the plot. They prescribed me just one Zopiclone it knocked me right out and I felt terrible the next day dispite having slept. I had another one but cut it in half and it was really helpful and I didn't feel so bad the day after. I only took a few halves before I was put on Quetiapine to stop my mind racing and it also makes me drowsy so that's been what I've taken ever since.

Good luck hun xxx
