Middle of the night anxiety

[nicole97]

My husband’s loud snoring woke me up in the middle of the night and so I laid there and the anxiety from waiting on yet another mole biopsy just washed over me hard and I had to rush out of bed to go throw up. This is such an awful feeling. I hate it and can only shake it for brief minutes at a time. :-(

I’m sorry. I suffer from this as well. I don’t think I’ve slept more than 5 or 6 hours a night in months. Have you tried doing a guided meditation or even just listening to a podcast? Sometimes those things can help me get back to sleep. It also sometimes helps to get up and read a book for an hour before trying again. Although it’s tough to get out of a warm bed in the middle of the night!
