I don't think that I have had agood night sleep for months. Just the thought of sleeping will often cause me an anxiety attack. My heart will race and pound and my mind will go in a million different directions usually none of them good. I can often be found listening/feeling my heart beating so fast and thinking "this is it. I'm really dieing this time" and the anxiety increases.Catch 22.
To top it off When I finally do go to sleep, usually much too late for a mother of 5 young ones, I am awoken just a couple hours later by my heart pounding out of my chest and feelings of anxiety pressing in on me.
I can beat it during the day(the anxiety and panic that is) but at night, when I am just so tired all I want to do is sleep, I am at a loss. I DO NOT want to have to get up and clean or read or walk or sing at 2,4, or 5am. Is there any other alternative out there? Any Zen, Meditation, Zulu, Tai Chi cure that will send me off to a peaceful slumber?
HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!! :)
