Help I'm frightened of spiralling into a crash & cant sl

[Anxious and sleepless]

:shock:
I could really do with somesupport and help right now. Five years ago I crashed completely and had six months off work. I suffer from recurring anxiety disorder that comes and goes with varying severity - it presented as severe hypochondria last time leading me to plethora of hospital tests and obsession that I had cancer. I'm over that one!! I have had bad time in my relationship this year which whilst appearing to be sorted has left me in increasing trouble and anxiety is spiralling again. Tried and rejected Cipramil because it made me so wired I ccould not sleep - inaomnia is now bad and the low level of diazepam is not working. I feel really ill and exhausted and am soooooo worried I'm falling apart again. Any words of advice welcomed in particular how I can I re-establish sleep pattern

Hi
I suffer from severe hypochondria aswell,usually cancer but I can decide Ive got any disease you care to mention. I also always think the worst for other people when they are ill. Its been bad for the last 18 months in particular though ive suffered for 10 years or so in varying degrees.I fully understand how you feel. Its developed into agoraphobia recently and the illness phobia has decreased.
I dont have any advice on sleeping apart from the usual avoid caffine,take exercise etc. I read a book whilst in bed untill I cant keep my open.
You are not on your own with this keep your spirits up.
