5:00 am Meltdown

Hey Debbie! I know just how you feel! I have been having the most horrendous time trying to get to sleep the last four nights. I don't think I got more than 3 hours last night. I cried all morning while I got ready for work because I wanted so desperately to just go back to bed or die. Last night I managed to fall asleep and woke up an hour later feeling my heart pounding through my chest, my back, the bottom of my feet, my neck, my hands - everywhere. My body felt like it was vibrating from head to toe. I don't know what this was but it scared me so bad that I got out of bed and sat on the couch until I fell asleep at around 1:00 am and then managed to wake up every hour until I had to get up at 6:00. I went to the store today and bought Tylenol Simply Sleep. I am so drained! I am terrified of going to bed tonight. Every time I think about it, my stomach turns. I hope the sleep aid works! I don't know how much more of this insomnia I can take! Anyway, I wanted to let you know that I understand how you feel being frustrated with not sleeping and just wanting to scream, cry and throw things! Get angry at this thing! I agree with you that enough is enough - I am at this point also! It's like some days are really good and then, wham! Right back to the hole again! Sorry for going on and on - I am just so worn out! I am so mentally drained right now that I have felt like I've been floating all day. I am so depressed I couldn't crack a smile to save my life. You are not alone in this - don't give up!

I took my Klonopin and fell asleep at 3:00 am, woke up at 5:00 am like someone put cold water on my face, started worrying about everything, my husband my son my health and the panic, I went out to the garage and just screamed and sobbed for an hour, I was so mad that its keeping me up at night, It was like I was trying to "cry and scream and curse" thee panic right out of me, was that some kind of breakdown or breakthrough??? I have not panicked today, just very shaky, queasy and exhausted, I have reached the point where this anxiety disorder HAS to go, because of the severeness of it, it has led to a dark depression because my world has gotten smaller and smaller and I have gotten weaker and weaker. Somehow some way I have to come out of this or die trying, because its reached the point where ENOUGH!! Can anyone relate to this, I have to find a Doctor to prescribe Paxil, I am livid this medicine got me well 3 years ago and I cannot have it now, should I take the "Pexeva" Paxil if anyone knows anything about this Pexeva please let me know. I guess the bottom line is if I have to live with panic disorder I must get it under control, my little boy asked me yesterday "Mom do you have a mental problem" I felt like I was socked in the stomach, I must get a handle on it. Please send prayers to me I need to be strong. Thank you, Debbie.
