DWI- I FEEL for you- BIGTIME. I mean REALLY BIGTIME. I suffer from TERRIBLE Anxiety attacks (lots of people will think- 'well of course she does, shes a nut') fine, fine.. Mine started at 25. Some years go by, and no problem, and then I will have 2 yrs of this terrible problem. I dont do the caffeine, chocolate- and all that other JUNK- I tried everything, and it was AWFUL.
I sincrerely HOPE that you WILL get through this - I meditate on "For he gives His beloved sleep" I have to confess, I am in now way as strong as Chaim, or the others here- I have to do what I have to do, when this bad off- which is not really too much this past year- I know many will disagree- however- for myself, just to get through some bad weeks once in awhile- I do take clonezepam, on an "as needed' basis. Yes- it is a benzo, I know- And I hope I am not offensive to people here- but a nut crazy person like myself- I MUST GET SLEEP. It is a MUST.
I will say, however, that being with my 'soul-mate' (when I am there) I am in so much peace, that when he goes to tuck me into my bedroom, I am so at peace with life, I just seem to fall asleep. PLUS he works out EVERY single day- and THAT makes ME exhausted. I hope that you get rest from this situation, I PROMISE- you ARE in my prayers. I FEEL FOR YOU VERY MUCH.
