thanks alot i appreciate the tips ....... i already now i cant sleep coz i stress about it . ive had anxiety for awhile and when i say a while its been on and off. it recently started when i moved out and into my new home . i guess the stress of moving and my new job and my own relationship problems it took me by surprise.... i never had trouble sleeping .... it annoys the hell out of me i love sleep.... my boyfriend doesnt help at all i think its mainly coz of him. he doesnt really work and when he did he slept really late. and i would get really tired and fall asleep he would wake me up and get mad ..... it gonna sound weird but i fall asleep faster on my couch alone then in my bed with him . and on sundays when i have to sleep early coz i gotta work the next day . but i know whats the problem ... i know i have to relax and just not stress. its really easier said then done . ive tried everything from herbal teas... meditation......even sleeping pills well trazadone.... i couldnt even sleep well with sleeping pills ... then i started workin out and wow did it ever help ...but i still get those occasional night where i just cant sleep lol...... my anxiety grew with the insomnia.... i obssesed about why i couldnt slleep then coz i didnt sleep i had severe anxiety and then the anxietygrew into depression then i was questioning everything in my life to my job and the most important ting in my life my relationship .its been 9 years ive been with him.... and i was so lost in this vicious cycle that i lost the love and the want in my relationship.
i guess im still recovering and the memories of it i still fear thats why i still have some trouble sleeping. i want to know if anyone else expireced this in recovering from anxiety ..........the sleeping problems.....im askin a stupid question .... but id like to talk about it....... sometimes it help when i hear and talk about it with someone whos expirienced it . coz noone around me understands

I had my first panic attack at night so it took almost a year until I could go to sleep like normal; but, I occasionally have a symptom that keeps me up! You must deal with what causes the stress then you'll be able to focus on your sleeping patterns
