That's what kept me up too. Over a year, I was terrified of bed and trying to sleep xD

Terrified of bed? Oh jeez. Yeah he was just, fell into a habit of anxious thoughts at bed time and I told him, he doesn't have a schedule (disabled) so just... sleep when you're tired instead of being anxious and forcing yourself to sleep at certain times.

When I had to go to bed, I would get continuous anxiety attacks for hours.
Eventually I'd fall asleep, but not for long and it happened every night.
I tried Melatonin and Kava tea and Valerian root and nothing helped.
I eventually got a new medication and I coupled it with Chamomile tea and I could sleep again 8u
Turns out I also have sleep apnea now xD

Oh jeez, I fear I may develop that as I get older, so many sinus issues already x.x

No telling how long I've had it.
I've noticed over the years, my memory and my ability to focus has been going down hill quickly and I'm always so tired.
Doctor said it could be because of the sleep apnea xD

Aw dang I missed the purple gang xD
Hi Kit!!
Moi: Yeah, that's weird... probably better if you didn't take it :o
Was the medication for sleeping or anxiety?
Eva: :DD
Yeah, melatonin is definitely not a treatment of any sorts haha;;
I've been also told many times that if you can't fall asleep no matter what, just do something else. Even psychologically, you might get into a habit of correlating bed to anxious thoughts :(

It's an antidepressant, but it makes me sleepy, so my doctor told me to take it at night.
I sleep every night now, but not too great 8u
I always worry the anxiety will come back xD
It was honestly traumatizing 8u
Like I NEED sleep, so it's not like I could just not sleep.
