I can't sleep lately. I get extremely anxious as soon as I lay down, even if I could barely keep my eyes open before. And then I can't sleep (and seem to have to get up to pee every 5 minutes). And I get a lump in my throat and start feeling like I'm going to cry. But no real thoughts associated with any of it that I'm aware of. Eventually I start wishing I could talk to my T and he would have an idea.
Two nights in the past week I took a Xanax, which is something I don't like doing, but by the point I take them I only have the potential of getting 6 hours of sleep and I need to sleep soon. Bought some sleeping pills so maybe try that tonight.
I have a pdoc appt. Friday so I'll ask her. And I hope my T has some ideas tomorrow. I feel like it's a memory that's so under the surface I'm not aware of it, or a really big feeling or something. I've tried progressive muscle relaxation, but I get too anxious and overwhelmed halfway through. I tried getting up and doing homework until I'm sleepy, which works, but is not ideal.
Any ideas? If it's psychological, what am I going to do?
