anxiety keeping me awake

this happened on a night 6 months ago after i drank alot of alcohol and was trying to repay my sleep debt the day after. since then, these twitches have been keeping me awake. i went to see a doctor and she said that it's most likely anxiety due, something i probably inherited from my mother.

Fir the past three nights I haven't had a full sleep, I feel my baby moving all night long which is keeping me awake. Any ideas on how to sleep??

I have some sort of tinnitus in my left ear and for the last few nights the noise has been keeping me awake. It's extremely frustrating. Usually I can get into a position that stops the noise and I can sleep peacefully. But it's kept me tossing and turning for the last few nights and I'm really begging for a good night's sleep. I think my tinnitus may be linked to my pulse, as the noise pulsates in time with my pulse.

Are there other mommy's to be that are up and unable to sleep? What's keeping you awake tonight? I'm up do to words dreams.

I don't sleep long. I know it's from anxiety. Last year i couldn't come outside now i can. However, i still feel anxious and cry at night. I am afraid that i my relapse...i am worried about medical issues. I have been struggling with anxiety for fifteen years. I don't take medication. Does any one have any advice or techniques for me? I am really trying but i need to find another way without meds if i can.

Long story short, I promised to take my Klonopin and Effexor XR without reading about side effects, and I got better gradually, tho the Klonopin (instead of Xanax) relieved the anxiety more quickly and lasted longer ... the psych MD told me I was depressed along with anxiety, and I told her that she was wrong .... she was right though, because when my anxiety resolved, then I realized there was depression hiding underneath is. I am 1.5 years later and much better ...

So, I asked him what was making my legs move at night so much that not only is it keeping the hubby awake but the sheets on the bed have all pilled due to the movement and I am going broke buying sheets! They have little balls of fabric all over the area above and below my feet and no one would want to sleep on them...they feel awful!

My due date is coming up fast, and I'm getting really stressed about it... I am tired... I just cannot sleep for the life of me... I can't even settle my mind enough to meditate... Anybody else going through this?

If it is not leg cramps keeping me awake it is my anxiety or back pain. When can we ever get some rest. I have 38 days to go! How does everyone else deal with everything and make it to work everyday. Iam exhausted!

Here I sit again wide awake. got 2 hours of sleep tonight. Thats even taking lunesta. I can fall asleep fast but wake up right away. I feel like people are coming to kill me and so thats why i cant sleep.

So two nights ago I got absolutely no sleep. I was angry over something and it was keeping me awake, also I had a song stuck in my head that was also part of the racing thoughts in my mind keeping me up. So yesterday I was operating like a zombie and the same song was still in my head. I've created a new anxiety for myself, "when will this song stop playing in my head" and it's driving me insane.

Hi Allaboutmary. I'm awake as well. I'm keeping watch over my 10 year old son. He's been quite sick with cold symptoms & spiking fevers for the past two days. Ugh! I was one of the people who posted, asking about lack of motivation, energy. I was using Tylenol #4 (Tylenol w/codiene) It's only been about 5 weeks clean for me, after about 13 years of daily use, so it's still early.

Yes!! This is my first pregnancy so I wasn't sure how normal it was to experience difficulty sleeping. I feel tired during the day; but as soon as I go to bed for the night I feel wide awake again! Its now 2:50am and I've been awake since 9:00 am yesterday! I am hoping this won't last long...I'm only in week 3! It feels good to know that I am not the only one!

s bradycardia and also the pvcs which are keeping me awake at night...I have been having them ALL DAY LONG! 3 to 4 every minute...I've heard that hormonal imbalance due to perimenopause can be a factor...anyone have information on that? Do we have to live with these for the rest of our lives now???? My anxiety is soooo bad and I worry constantly...I am a vegetarian so recently I added fish oil and calcium/magnesium to my diet as well as a liquid multi-vitamin...please help, thank you!

He has seen many things like a spider descending down on me, a sugar glider hanging out in the corner, a rat in our closet, a drone hovering over me, and so on. He is actually seeing our room, and me but he sees imaginary things IN it, so he's not in a dream world. He has worked really hard to train himself to recognize when he's having an episode and has been better about snapping out of it.

ve pondered bringing up the suggestion of klonapin or a low dose of alaprozam for the anxiety attacks, but it seemed my doctor was even hesitant to start me out on 50MG Zoloft, saying thats the highest dose he gives to first timers to Zoloft, which is understandable. I might give him a call in regards to somehow asking for a low dose of Klonapin, though I don't want him to take the wrong impression, because of him thinking I'd abuse it.

One bad night you see is all it takes for me to get sleep anxiety, and then I get anxious about getting sleep anxiety and so on which leads to - guess what? No sleep (or very little). I have had this for over a decade now, on and off. There can be of course contributing factors such as diet, lifestyle and certain illnesses that can contribute to poor sleep, but one thing I have learned after years of on and off insomnia is that you always sleep eventually.

What Bon-Bon said. Plus support from my family, church family and other friends who are rooting for me. But I would say that the biggest coping tool has been a medicine called Lexapro and also weekly counseling from a great psychologist. I tried Wellbutrin first and I totally came out of the shell i had drawn into and became my old self. Bright and happy and out-going. But then I was told that I was being laid off and my world came crashing down around my ears.

Hello all...this is very strange. I'm feeling a heaviness on my chest or in my lungs. It feels like I can't get a full breath and am swallowing gunk. My throat feels a little tight. I feel as if i'm going to stop breathing in my sleep. Everytime i'm dozing off I jolt awake and get this weird sensation in my legs and body. I also get this weird head rush or light headedness when I jump awake like that.I feel a little tiny bit weak all over.

Are you in counseling for your anxiety right now? For me, individual or group therapy helped me confront and learn about my health anxiety...a little knowledge about why we are thinking the way we do can go a very long way in dealing with it, in my opinion.

I was on different anxiety meds, and my doctor told me i needed to stop all of them. My anxiety has been awful and keeping me awake at night, but i just deal with it because i know my meds aren't good for the baby. My ob never said anything about an alternative medicine i could take for my anxiety, but i do see my psychiatrist today about all this, so maybe rid has a good suggestion.
