Hello, I just read your comments. All of us here, I am sure, can relate. Signing up for the Sleep Center is the very best thing you could have done. While you are hanging in there, just remember that no one ever died of insomnia, even though, when you are in the middle of it, that is hard to believe.

(It sounds like the medications that were supposed to help you, did the opposite.) I am glad you are not seeing this psych. anymore.

I have had days in the past when I thought I would die, just because I felt so tired and out of it, my heart laboring, etc. But these episodes passed. I think what you are going through will pass as well.

Congratulations for starting with a sleep specialist. We are all here to support one another and I think, after a while, you will find that you are much less anxious knowing that you are not alone.

Did you ever figure out why you were anxious originally, what thoughts and feelings went through your head and what your beliefs about it were?

Wishing you much success with the sleep specialist and speedy recovery. heidi2
