Not sleeping

Hi, I've been through this before and I just started again with panic and anxiety. My doctor gave me xanax to help me sleep and it's just not working. I feel like i have insomnia all over again....

Hi Pokey,
I was having trouble sleeping for awhile as well. I started to try to not think about it so much, If I woke up in the middle of the night, I'd listen to a relaxation cd, or mediation cd, and drift back to sleep. You will sleep again, I PROMISE!

I also exercise daily for an hour, i find that it helps a lot, with everything, anxiety, depression, and sleeplessness...

Im on week 12 right now, hope that helped some
remember.... talk positive to yourself, and try to stay calm and be relaxed, I know easier said than done, but fake it til you make it!

Best wishes
Barbara

Befor I had my surgery last oct. I would wake up not breathing. It scared me. I started haveing anxiety about it. After my hystorectomy I stoped doing that, come to find out it was part my hormones. I also use aroma therapy I love it. I use a chakra oil for harmony.It sounds kinda witchcrafty but it works.
