How many nights til I lose it?

Posted by sleepymom on November 24, 2008 at 14:25:27:

Well, I am worried that I am going to have trouble again tonight. I hate when the anxiety builds up. I have been trying to read the posts and know that it was only one bad night last night, but still I am worried about tonight. I keep telling myself that I just have to lie there and rest. Nothing more. If sleep comes then so be it. But how long can I go without sleep? I believe that I will get better but for some reason right now I am scared that I am going to spiral down again. Why is it that I cannot even handle one night of this. I was fine today, minus the anxiety. When will this go away? I know I am looking for some magic statement or something but I just don't understand why it had gone away for almost 2 years and now it is back. I understand that I cannot fight this, I must simply accept it as part of who I am but it is hard to do sometimes. Any words of wisdom would be appreciated.
