Don't know if this is classed as a symptom or not really but it goes hand and hand with my chronic anxiety anyway.
I have always been a great sleeper most of the time and this has helped me with my anxiety over the years,the fact that my brain can get a rest from it during the night but for the past 3 months or so I have had terrible insomnia.I went to the docs for some help last week and he prescribed some sleeping tablets which after reading the side effects I daren't take-stupid I know.
My husband despairs of me and said that I should take 1 at least and see what happens but I am really scared. It stated that if you don't get 7-8 hrs of non interupted sleep you can suffer memory loss with them and also if you suffer ANY form of mental distress you shouldn't take them.
I am getting really worried now about this no sleeping lark and I am terrified that I will have a fit because of the tiredness. I am so wound up because of this and it is affecting me very much. I go through the day in a fog and am constantly worried that something bad is going to happen,can anybody help me please?
