Thank you to all who replied to my post. I had one halfway decent night's sleep since then, but last night couldn't sleep until 5:45 in the morning and woke up every hour until 10:45. I'm still not doing well and am getting more depressed every day.

i went to my counselor appt. today. I've been seeing this counselor through most of my insomnia (which started in January and I started seeing him in March), and he says after seeing me for that long he doesn't think my insomnia is anxiety/depression caused. He thinks my anxiety makes it worse sometimes, but he thinks that there is something physically wrong causing the insomnia. Which is what I've thought all along! I've had my thyroid checked but we both think this is quite possibly a hormone problem. And I'm only 25! I feel like I'm going through menopause at 25 yrs. old. It just sucks, there's nothing I can do to control/help my sleep. I just go to bed every night wondering if it will be a good night or bad night since they just seem to come and go with no pattern. I think my insomnia is way worse during PMS, but this whole past month has been horrible.

I'm just so discouraged I can't even write anymore. Everything seems hopeless. This insomnia is a disease and has ruined my life. Sorry to be so down on everything but it's true. I hope all of you out there can find a cure for yours, but mine seems to be hopeless. Exercise or no exercise, positive thoughts or negative thoughts, etc. etc. none of it makes a difference, my insomnia is still there full force no matter what.
