I'm desperate for any help!!!

My severe insomnia started about 2 years ago, before then i could sleep anytime I wanted too.

My insomnia started when I was literally scared to death by something. i was in a Panic mode of some sort over a situation that was terrifying for me. It was a drama, it wasn't even real, but still it has destroyed me.

I have tried everything!

could it be possible that this insomnia is my bodys way of trying to keep me safe? Like, my body has turned on me thinking it is helping me, but instead it is destroying me.

I know that my problem has to be on some subconsious level. Like my mind is associating the fear with sleep somehow.

I guess my question is, how do I get my mind to understand that I am safe, and that it is ok for me to go to sleep.
That sleeping is a good thing, not a bad thing.

anyone have any suggestions?
