Hi all,
Just joined this forum after having a terrible few weeks with anxiety which stemmed from a few nights' bad sleep but I know there are a few underlying problems too.
At the moment I am unable to fall asleep or stay asleep for more than a few hours which is making my anxiety levels in the day go through the roof. Here's how I feel and you can probably identify with it:
- Like I'll never sleep properly again
- World seems familiar but different - foggy
- Slightest challenges make me anxious
- Feeling I'm doomed to stay like this forever
- Embarrassed to talk about with friends and family
- Nausea and lacking energy
- Why is everyone else normal and not suffering?
- Would do anything to feel like me again
The GP has just prescribed my 50mg Lustral which I hear helps to level out the irrational anxiety levels but they're tough at first with side effects and increased anxiety.
I'm willing to take that on to get well again.
I'm hoping to people out there understand and can empathise!
Thanks for reading...
