Write it all out.

Set up a calming night time routine.

Find a way to rest during the day with sitting quietly to help you feel calmer.

Listen to your favorite music at bedtime. Use relaxation tapes. You have
to use the tapes over several times before UT begins to work.
Take a bubble bath or walk.

Been online doing anxiety classes. Nothing seems to work. Doing them over and over. Feel like a failure. Ambien can’t even make me sleep. My doctor didn’t send in new prescription yet he forgot nurse can’t find him. It’s like they don’t know how much pain people are in. I’d rather be dead.

I take Trazodone and melatonin to sleep. Does the trick.

I am on lexapro-and that has helped a great deal--otherwise I take things on different nights so I don't get too used to one thing (which happens to me a lot) I take somnapure (all natural) if I am not too wired-I take benedryl if I am very bad and klonapin if I am in the between. I listen to videos on youtube--if I am really bad I might do a guided meditation or tapping session, then i listen to this biotropic parasympathetic nervous system stimulation video, and it is followed by a ten hour binaural beats lower your blood pressure video--or anything that is 8-10 hrs long and promises deep sleep!.

I have a hard time sleeping too. Lots of broken sleep. I will turn on some relaxing music on You Tube and it helps me fall asleep. Sweet dreams. Italianmomma4ever

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
