Anxietys kicked in, now i cant sleep

[MatthewH]

Well, i have work in... just less than 9 hours, im shattered, but my anxiety is playing up, i have a lump in my throat and feel sick. Ive just had three weeks off work on summer break and its my first day back. I know i should be asleep right now, or im going to be in bits in the morning. But this lump is horrible, and its preventing me from nodding off. Im chewing some rescue remedy gum and taking sips of water to stop it, and i know im being irrational, but i just cant stop this feeling! Argh...

I hate that feeling of a lump in the throat. I get it periodically. But its not nice when it disturbes your sleep. Just remember, there's no lump there. Its just a silly feeling that will subside when you relax and distract yourself. Hope you manage to get some z's :) xxxxx
