I think I have a insomnia problem plus anxiety or panic attacks. What do I do?
As long as I can remember from child hood. When I go to bed, no matter how tired, I can not fall asleep easily. Taking over the counter sleep aids do NOT help. I just lay there feeling groggy and strange. My mind is running a million miles per hour and I can't stop moving. I am extremely restless and must shake and twitch my legs as well ankles or it drives me crazy and can't fall asleep.. By the time I finally fall asleep it's morning. Husband goes to work, kid for school. And when I do finally fall asleep that morn I am out for about 10 hours. Hard to wake me. This has affected my ability to work which keeps me late getting to work no matter what. I have frequent anxiety or panic attacks because I can't let go of mistakes or just happen all of a sudden without warning. Once these start peaking I start crying and end up breaking things I own or throwing things I care about to relieve the pain. Then it gets worse because I'm upset for things I did not mean to break or ruin. This episode typically last 10 mins. I am not suicidal in the least bit. Negativity around me keeps it going longer. I know if I hide in a small place alone I can let it ride out. This seems a lot but I need advice.
