Hi, I'm new here and I really need help.
It all started on Sunday, when I woke up at 10AM with only 2 hours sleep so I could get back on track for work. I beared out the tiredness so that I'd be able to sleep for work. The whole night I was too pressured to fall asleep and became very anxious. I didn't fall asleep until 8AM on Monday. When I woke up at 6PM on Monday, I was still tired and was anxious to get back to sleep thinking I'd die or go crazy from lack of sleep. This anxiety kept me up until I took some Alprazolam (sp?) at 5:30PM the next day. I woke up at 9:30PM, and got maybe 2 hours of off and on sleep the whole night. I got up at 9:30AM and was going to stay awake, but I was too scared to. I fell asleep again at around 12 or 1PM and woke up at 5:30PM. I've slept on and off for about 2 or 3 hours between now and then, and I'm really worried that I'm going to lose my mind or die from this. This anxiety is really preventing me from getting a good night's sleep. Any suggestions?
