Hi everyone,
I've been having some trouble recently mostly revolving around my sleep. This all started two weeks ago when for four nights I had severe trouble sleeping with the worst night I only got three hours sleep. By the last night of no sleep my head was in a fog like state and I didn't feel able to function normally at all. I have no reason for not sleeping those nights I just could not fall asleep and felt very restless. It doesn't help that at the moment I wake up anywhere between 3-6 times a night needing the toilet because of pregnancy. Before these few days of not sleeping I was a great sleeper nine times out of ten I would switch off after five minutes and even if I woke during the night I would fall asleep again easily. I could sleep 12 hours a night and still nap during the day. Ever since those few nights I have been so paranoid I won't fall asleep it is causing real anxiety. Even though I have been sleeping every time I get into bed I feel like I won't sleep and get really anxious and I can not stop it. For example last night I fell asleep on the sofa from 8-10pm and then went to bed and woke at 12, 3 and 6 but the time at 3 I struggled to nod off and now I fear I will struggle again tonight because of it. I have also been having anxiety about my legs (sounds strange but I will explain) everytime I sit down I feel like I have to move them but I can actually keep them still so I know it is not restless legs. I just get so paranoid and feel like I should move them. For example if I make a normal little movement of my legs I feel worried I have this irrational fear that I should be able to keep 100 per cent still when sitting. This only happens at home and when trying to sleep. If i am typing etc I don't notice it but the moment I try to watch tv/sleep it gets to me. It doesn't happen sitting down at work etc and I can actually keep my legs still. Its made me fear being indoors. I hate being indoors now. I do everything to stay out as long as possible and actually want to be at work now which I never did before. I am dreading the xmas break this year and trying to fill all my time.
I don't have any hobbies, I find video games boring, drawing, reading etc. I am officially bored of life! and just feel a sadness all day long. I don't enjoy anything anymore. what do i do?
