I can't believe your therapist isn't being supportive over something that traumatic. I'd say call him and say you need to talk right away, but I can understand why you want to avoid him.
It couldn't hurt to try the Xanax. My doctor just prescribed the anti-depressant Trazodone and Ambien (to take if Ttrazodone doesn't work within two hours) to help me sleep. Previously I was on the anti-depressant amitriptyline to sleep until my body became immune to it. So I would give the Xanax a shot.If the Xanax doesn't do it, can you get the doctor who prescribed it to give you something else?
Also have you tried Melatonin? It's an over the counter supplement that my husband takes and sleeps all night.
You need sleep and I'm sorry your therapist isn't there to help you stop the worrying.
