I know we're not "friends" anymore, but I would suggest going back to your psychiatrist/psych nurse and tell them some of what you tell us. I'm sorry you're unable to sleep, do you have a hobby that helps you relax, should you remain awake all night? My cousin sent me an adult coloring book, it's supposed to help people calm down some by coloring in it. Though I have yet to start coloring in it. Or maybe a close friend who wouldn't mind talking to you at 3am til you are able to settle your fears for a short time?

Hope you got to sleep and that in the next couple of nights you catch up on your rest. When I have this kind of problem is snowballs through th next few days for me. I learned about taking over the counter Melatonin here for sleep, four 5mg pills do it for me.

    Does anyone here have a comfort item you carry with you when you go out? For example this is my doll, Annie, and I've recently been bringing her with me when I run errrands flor have an appointment. Holding her comforts me. I've bought her clothes, crocheted for her, I recently bought a personalized blanket with her name on it.  Just wondering if anyone else has a comfort item.
