Hi all,
As some of you may have noticed, I'm relatively new here!
But I just wanted to see if anyone else shares/can relate to my problem. I have anxiety that is very up and down, and after receiving CBT and taking Propranolol, I felt like I was getting better, and compared to how I used to be, there is a world of difference.
However, since coming back from Uni for the Christmas holidays, I seem to be slipping back into my old ways. I'm not sure whether its due to too many late nights with old friends, or just alot of sitting around doing nothing and eating lots due to the Festive season! Normally I have quite a busy schedule with Uni/gym/general responsibilities, but now I am usually fine in the daytime, and its as soon as I start thinking about going to sleep, my heart starts beating faster, and I get all panicky while lying down, which ruins my sleep. This, annoyingly has turned into me now being anxious of sleeping, and I know its a vicious circle, but I can't seem to break out of it!
I'm just hoping once I get back into a routine, all will get better...just needed to get it off my chest :)
