Is this something new or does it happen a lot? Did your pdoc give you anything to help you relax that you could take? Sometimes anxiety and depression go hand in hand and an antianxiety med could be in order. If you can't take a med like that maybe something lighter like benadryl. It's in tylenol PM. Good Luck!

I know how you feel. I'm sorry you can't sleep :( If it makes you feel better I can't sleep either. Why do you have bad dreams? I know I have bad dreams because of all of my anxiety. So if it is that, you are thinking too much, and your brain is having trouble shutting down. Try this: Inhale and count slowly to 5, and then exhale as you mentally count slowly to five. It helps your body and mind relax becuase you are focused on counting and breathing and not so many other things.

Ha... I forgot to add that you should keep repeating the breathing and counting... doing it once wouldn't help much now would it!

Tylenol PM makes me groggy in the morning. I find that Ambien puts me to bed for eight hours and then I jump out of bed without grogginess. Have you spoken to you doctor about your options?

sucks, girlie... i feel ya... i'm goin through the same thing right now. for me, lasts fm. weeks to months, goes away after time. comes back when i'm really stressed. my only comfort now is knowing it'll go away eventually. doesn't help me sleep, but helps me feel sane. at least somewhat
