Hi Lilbit33boo,

 

Online sites are great for getting the information you need to be able to ask all the right questions when you see your doctor, but you should not replace your doctor with online sites. If you feel you are experiencing issues that could be serious, the best thing is to see your doctor.

 

There are many reasons for being irritable and for having insomnia or trouble sleeping. You could be suffering with stress, you could have some adjustment problems to the change in weather, anything could be the cause.  If you want to check out your symptoms, you can do that here. You can read about anxiety here. This might be information that you already know, but sometimes it helps to reread it and possibly form new questions for your doctor. You can read about medications that are generally prescribed for anxiety here. Once your doctor determines what treatment you should start, you can read about that here.

 

I hope this helps. Stay in touch and let us know how you are doing!
