Anxiety Sleep? Any Tips or Suggestions?

Question

i've never really had this before but my brain seems to just keep going and going even after i'm calmed down and trying to go to sleep.

lately i've been myself finding things REEEEALLY real, like if i imagine a ferris wheel i can spin with it in my head, like i can feel my body moving with it, i'm so scared about it i'm not sure if this is normal with anxiety

lately i've had constant anxiety and i'm not on any meds or seeing a phyc anymore

my brain feels like its all cramped up and my head has pressure pings and pains

sometimes i'm so scared i'll see something i see it, or if i close my eyes and cross my eyes i can see faces in my head

i feel like i'm so messed up and i have no turning back :/

i feel so alone i don't know ANYONE whos had anxiety like this....and it only seems to get kinda bad when i'm in between sleep and awake when my mind just wanders....

Answer 3

Don't lose hope. There is always a way to turn back. You only need to know how to do it.

Unfortunately, This is not a question a yahoo-answers surfer can handle.  You REALLY need to see a professional.

I hope you feel better soon. You are not alone as you think. Trust me, psycologists have seen it all.  

Answer 4

Dah'lin get you some Clary Sage and apply it without a carrier oil to your night clothes.

Make a blend of Lavender and Clary Sage (your choice of carrier oil/lotion) and rub on chest area before sleep.

Answer 5

That kind of sleep/awake weirdness is not uncommon, and happens to all kinds of people.

You said that you're not on meds or seeing a psych "any more."  Sounds like you need to go back & get on meds again.  

You could also create yourself a calming sleep routine.  No caffeine after 4.00pm, no exercise before you go to bed, take a warm bath.  Have a drink of warm mild before you go to bed.  Make sure your bed & bedroom are comfortable.

Once in bed, you could try listening to quiet soft music, or read a book to stop your mind from running on.

Answer 6

I have long term insomnia and go through this all the time. Here are some things you can try.

Watch how much caffeine you are using, especially in the afternoons. Caffeine effects your brain function and interrupts your normal sleep pattern.  

Lavender oil or a combination of lavender and sage can help with relaxation. Put fresh lavendar in a small cloth bag (you can buy sachet bags at Michaels) and toss it in the dryer with your sheets.

Try drinking chamomile tea at bedtime.

I use warm milk with a small drop of honey. Milk contains trytophan. Warming the milk releases the trytophan and helps with sleep. I also use melotinin. This is a natural enzyme that we lose as we get older. It helps quiet my mind and allows me to sleep without any side effects.
