I also have high anxiety that starts about an hour or so before I go to bed. I'm fine during the day and think, "okay, I'll be okay tonight" . Then it just comes on. I do try to send messages of safety, but sometimes, it is just so hard!

Thank you for this. I have been suffering for nearly a year and it’s debilitating me now. I have had enough and I’m becoming depressed from my insomnia. I have found your channel last week but I’m still not getting better. I’m exhausted averaging on 3 hours of sleep, and yet it will still take me 4 hours to fall asleep. Once I’m finally asleep , I can’t stay asleep 😪

Even though I have spent the last week binge watching your videos and educating myself , I feel somewhat calmer but I can’t help but get a wave of anxiety and panic of what another night of suffering and uncertainty will bring as soon as the sun starts to set every evening. When I’m trying to sleep I’m getting headaches my eyes are burning but I’m still massively struggling to fall asleep. I rarely ever fall asleep within minutes anymore and it’s frustrating me. My life has been upside down since I can barely function during the day I find it so difficult to push through the fatigue.

I get these massive balls of tension and anxiety in my chest when I’m trying to sleep and lying here for hours. I know this is all hyperarousal and I need to be patient but I honestly can’t take this suffering any longer. I feel like I’m losing my mind. Not to mention the damage this is probably doing to my cortisol, hormones and thyroid ( god forbid)? All of this just puts more pressure on me to sleep which never happens and my mind starts spiralling and racing.

If you read this, just know that I experienced the same and I am recovered now. But even more… now I know what to do and how to recover. It would take me HOURS to fall asleep and when I did, I would sleep about an hour and a half. And even then I would have bad dreams, and not get any rest. I tried CBT-i and it just didn’t work for me. I was in full-blown fight or flight ALL the time with pounding heart, horrific anxiety, nervous stomach, the whole nine yards. I’m a teacher so I have to get up and do a mentally and physically taxing job all day. But then I said to myself one night “ok, screw it. I might not sleep, but I’m going to rest my eyes and my body regardless.” I begrudgingly “accepted” my predicament and I fell asleep. Real sleep. And I went back and forth for a week or two, but eventually I regained my faith that my brain wasn’t broken and I stopped obsessing about it (over time.) Then I eventually began to sleep like nothing ever happened. ❤ Hope this gives you hope.

Thank you so much. I appreciate your comment and this does give me some hope. How did you manage to get rid of your fight or flight ? Despite me educating myself on Daniels teachings ( which are calming me down somewhat) im still getting a wave of 3\4 panic and anxiety attacks every evening. I just get so frustrated lying there for hours and not being able to sleep every night on end and I don’t know when or how to get rid of it. I have accepted that this is my reality for the somewhat future , but I still am getting frustrated when I’m exhausted and lying there for hours unable to sleep. I have this doubt and fear in my mind that what if I’m one of the ones who may never fully recover from this 😪? ( god forbid)

I went through this five months ago but I was prescribed a sleep med. The sleep med works but I feel like it’s put me into a depression and I want to stop taking the sleep med. My estrogen was low so I started HRT therapy and now I sleep a lot better but now I want to stop taking the med but I am dealing with the anxiety of that issue. Dealing with the fear of knowing that I may experience rebound insomnia has me stuck. 😢 Thought about trying an anti depressant to see if that would help me with my anxiety but I don’t want to make it worse. If anyone on here has any advice for me I would really appreciate it.

If you are bold enough to test the anti-depressant, go for it. I must say however that I have yet to see any medication that was worth the money it costs, given its side effects. Whatever you decide, you now have a huge cohort of supporters… you are not alone! ❤
