[bellalew]

:ohmy:during the day ,for all im anxious,i cope pretty well,but once the night time creeps in,around 9pm i become edgey and more anxious feeling locked in, scared,cant relax and wind down,i go to bed about 11pm read a little,but find im still awake at 2am there after,i get up feeling drained and lathargic till about 4pm,then the cricle starts all over again,i am waiting to go for cbt,should i mention this to them?.i find i am alot worse during the winter months,being dark earlier,dose anyone else have this fear?, what causes it?,is it somthing i will always suffer from?,i have been a long victim of ocd,h/a and depression,and am so sick of being a scared mouse:ohmy: and so want to get better,or at least cope better with it.ellen.x

I know one of the things i use to do at night was dread the next day and how many times i might get anxious or dwell on waking in the night full of panic.....

Now what i try to do at night i let myself relax and rest, sometimes a nice night time walk with the dog is nice but then again it depends how safe your surrounds are?
