Hi to all...I'm in the same boat as londonpete. I have been in an on & off panic attack/insomnia bout for over 9 days. I've suffered with panic disorder for nearly 9 years. Something about those 9's, eh?
I'm so friggin' tired right now I'm afraid I'll never sleep again or go insane or end up in the hospital. My poor parents are trying all they can to help me. I have a great therapist and just a so-so psychiatrist. I took Xanax tonight AND klonopin and I'm still not coming down. I KNOW how it feels to not sleep. The thing is, the drugs used to work. And somehow, I've associated panic with sleep and sleep with fear. I used to love to sleep ironically, and would kill to get 6 or 7 solid hours per night. Hell, I'd kill for ANY sleep at this point!
I guess the best thing we can do Pete (& others) is just be here for each other. YOU WILL NOT DIE FROM LACK OF SLEEP, you may feel crazy (like I do right now), but you won't die. Tis a fact. One other tidbit my therapist shared with me, PEOPLE WITH SLEEPING PROBLEMS ARE USUALLY SLEEPING MORE THAN THEY THINK This eased my mind a little. Hope it helps & I'll pray for you.

Oh and one other thing I've read about sleep is that eventually, NATURE will take over and take care of you. Hope so!
Good for you on being sober. I have problems sleeping sometimes too. Its always on a night whenI have to work the next morning. I only work three days a week but it always happens the night before. I dunno why. I never panic at work. I actually work from home watching 2 kids. I always figure they are too little so even if I panic, they wouldn't even know!!! I have to work tommorow so I bet I will be up all night. But oh well. Hopefully you finally got some ZZZs.
gets you down tho doesnt it! the scariest thing is, thst as a recovering alcoholic, the results of me being on a downer can have disasterous effects with me going for a bottle! thank god it hasnt happened yet(one year, five months, two weeks and one day sober)but the fear is always there! heck maybe thats where one element of my anxiety lays! the good thing is that it makes me realise just whyi quit the booze in the first place! so the fear of going back stops me doing it! thanks for your reply! going to try this sleeping lark now! nite x
Hi londonpete,
I believe you have to find strength to recover from this illness(anxiety). We have to fight it, not let this beat us. Lately my anxiety has gotten worse, it is at the stage were I don't won't to leave my home.
But I have since learned that I don't won't to be like this, I don't won't to spend my life were I'am to afraid to go out my door. I am currently pushing myself to get out even if it's just to go to the shop. What I'm trying to say is find strength within yourself and push yourself, don't let anxiety beat you, YOU BEAT IT...... ;)
I know this is hard for some of us, but you got to keep on trying.
THINK POSITIVE.........
hi all, i cant sleep(again) its 1am over here in the uk and i cant sleep for love nor money! last night i only slept for 3 hours and i have done a thirteen hour day at work in between, AND been to the gym, i know its my anxiety over having to go to work in the morning. it ironic as its only a six hour shift and only five mins away in the car, yet it still fills me with fear. i dont know what it is, but i know i get strength from knowing others are in the same boat(although i figure no one over there in the states are ready for bed right now anyway!!!!!!)dont get me wrong, i dont WANT anyone else to be suffering its just good to have a forum like this to talk about it and the advantage of using an american one is that i know you guys are up!!!! (sorry)wish there was something like this over here! but hey ho! ill inevitably be up for a while yet so i welcome your feedback!
