Hey guys
After 3 good years my HA fears over vcjd returned and I had a panic attack last monday. Before this I was feeling fairly good and had occasional panicky moments but nothing serious. Since then my anxiety has calmed down a little but I have developed terrible insomnia. I work at night so my sleep schedule was already a mess, however I was always able to sleep 8-10 hours in the daytime, but now I can barely sleep at all. Over the last 4 days I have been unable to sleep for more than 1-3 hours. Last night I was so worried that I went to a and e where I was give some diazepam. This made me feel a lot calmer but I still only slept for an hour!
I feel completely detached from the world and time seems to be moving at a crawl. I am sitting here praying for it to turn eight o clock so I can get a doctors appointment.
Last time I was struck with anxiety I took 20mg of escitalopram for about 6 months and it was very effective so I want to go back on this.
I also want to try and get some sleeping pills just to get some rest and a little clarity.
Has anyone else suffered from such a sudden onset of anxiety and insomnia and can offer me any advice?
Thank you
