Thanks for all the suggestions. I will check out the book. On the positive side, I actually slept from midnight to 3am last night. That is a GOOD night for me. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/9-07bravo.gif[/img]

"Don't Panic" by Wilson Reid
yep this is a great one, in fact ant and I both read it and he still does. he has a lot of it highlighted.
God has a plan
Abbey, I had a panic attack one night where I thought I was having a heart attack. Then-dh had gone to bed but wasn't asleep yet. I made it upstairs (so I wouldn't die alone, you see), sat on the bed and told then-dh that I didn't know if I was having a panic attack or a heart attack. He patted me on the leg, rolled over and promptly went to sleep.
Is is any wonder that then-dh is now EX-dh? [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grrr.gif[/img]

haha...Suz. I will give DH some credit. He did stay up for the first hour to watch me, but then fell asleep.
I did give him the URL to the website so maybe he could understand more what is going on, and to hopefully be more supportive if that ever happens again. (fingers crossed it doesn't)
It's odd that I feel refreshed today after having a full 3 hours of sleep last night. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/9-07bravo.gif[/img] I'm shooting for 4 hours tonight.

Duckie was put on an antihistamine for sleep a few years back. It was supposed to help her relax and sleep. And it worked... for awhile. Then it made her even more nervous and anxious. She started wandering the house at night and hording stuff in her room. The med was atarax. What a nightmare! [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/surprise.gif[/img]
