Hello There!
I am first time here.I am desperately searching for solutions to help with my anxiety,panic attacks and sleepless nights,then finally falling asleep and unable to wake up in the morning.So tired that I am unable to hold onto my job.But I could work at night,because I can not sleep at night.
Is there anyone out who has similar issues?Maybe we could chat on a sleepless night?I am 53...going through hard times...
Thanks for listening

Good on you for trying @Angie2023 .
I've just had to remove the name of the medication you have included because it was flagged by the system. Our guidelines state that we cannot name medications.
Hope that makes sense. You are doing very well.
Here is the link to the guidelines if you want to have a read: https://saneforums.org/t5/help/faqpage/title/community-guidelines
Glad to have you with us.

Hey @Angie2023 ,
All good. We are all learning.
So what happens is that you post, and when people see your message, they reply. They may not necessarily reply straight away.
How was your day anyway?

Hello again @Angie2023
People come and go. I spend a fair bit of time on the forum but also ttrying to do stuff offline and get a life.
I did not get tag immediately so not alerted to your post. Give it time.
There is a thread called "Night shift" which I used to be on a lot, years ago .... some of the guys are on it these days.
What do you do when you are up all night?

Sorry I got distracted by watching Sinead O'Connor doco @Angie2023
Will tag you over on other thread.
I was hopeless with sleep for a long time and got very anxious about getting to sleep in order to get up ... my son also suffered a lot with it ... one year I said bugg er it ... and stayed up all night deliberately and made it a life style ... partly it was so I would see my son ... and have a proper dinner with him in the wee hours ... and also to stop being the nagging mother trying to straighten out his sleep. It took a load off ... to go whole hog with it ... I slept all day ... but after a year ... I had gotten pretty isolated and thought I better go back to modelling a better sleep pattern for him ....
Anyway ... meet a few more people ... you can join in any chat really there are a few that are more general .... like Good Morning ... ha ha ... post at 3am if you want.
Take care
Apple
