Hi,
I never actually took a anxiety test, however from my character I'm a high strung person with difficulty sleeping. I'm not depressed but I'm actually worried about a guy I'm dating he's not good for me but I have problems letting ago. Overall in my case I'm thinking toooo hard. It doesn't effect my work thank God. I guess your reply would be see a therapist....LOL
By the way I'm 50 years old

I think seeing a doctor would be best. It is important to find out if there are any physical illnesses or conditions causing your insomnia. Once you know that, you can work on improving some of the emotional issues you are dealing with.
It would seem, as I am sure you know, that getting out of the relationship you are sure is not good, would be helpful to your emotional well-being. As you suggest, a therapist may help you in coping with this.

I enjoyed reading your post, this morning I woke at 6:30 and could not fall back asleep even though I was so tired that I could have and should have fell asleep in a few minutes, but I just layed there for an hour and a half wishing that I would just fall asleep but couldn't. I don't know why, and when I got up out of bed I had a massive panic attack, this time I almost started to cry because I'm so sick of waking up this way and for being on meds all the time. any suggestions on what to do about this insomnia and waking with feelings like I'm going to have a heart attack?

What was the pannic attack about for it to be massive as you said shurely you can identify what was causing it.
suffolk
the panic attack was about nothing, all I have to do is wake up. My attacks are not brought on by thoughts nor emotions or have anything to do with what I'm doing at the time, they just come come on out of no where for no reason. No, I do not know what is causing it.
mark!
Mark could it be denial on your part...are they self-induce ?
Sounds a bit like spasmophile.
What is it you think I'm in denial about?? I just wake up, that is all I do every f$#% day and that is how I feel. Do you ever have the feeling your going to die out of no where for no reason. Every day I have these feelings and every time I write a sharepost or post a reply to some one else's post you have some sort of criticism torwards me. What is your problem huh!!! I read some of your post, most of them are completly erelevent to this site. Spasmophile? no there is no extreme tendency to convulsions! I really do not think about anything nor do I do any thing to bring this on. Did you know that in the morning your blood pressure is higher than normal? or that your heart rate is higher as well, this alone for some one like me can cause anxiety because it can be mistaken.

Wo slow down here
All I did is ask a question no need to be impolite
I'm sorry that you find that my post's are ''irrelevant'' I respect your oppinion, I tought we could post about anything that is of interrest to us, till someone tells me uderwise I'll keep posting on what is of interest to me ( I do have other interest in life other than anxiety you know) do you ? I found that having them help me a lot in my recovery so...
In no way I wanted to offend you but if I did well...that belongs to you.
I had no bad intentions in asking the question, so Mark now that you have said what you think about my post's and got it off your chest I hope you feel better, know that I wish you well no matter what you may or not think about me...I have paid my dues.

Be Well
Suffolk, sorry for being so blunt and verbose about my comment. I geuss that talking about other things are a better way to keep your mind off of things. It just seems that you don't believe me about my experiences(everyone has a right to be a skeptic). But I have what the doctors call extream anxiety which is a constant thing that doesn't go away and I always have to be on meds so maybe yesterday I was being some what of a nag. I think my next sharepost will be about something possitive that I have done. Sorry again I have a lot of mood swings. I hope the next time I reply it will be a more pleasant response.
