So I'm trying to go to sleep last night, and my mind starts racing, as usual. But normally I can concentrate on one thing, usually a good dream or story I'm reading, and rest of the thoughts slowly calm and dissapate. But not last night. I've been in a depression and getting worse, crying spells, the works, but now I can feel myself slowly coming out of it. And all of the things I've been needing to do but didn't get done kept racing through my mind. How am I going to get all of this done!?

I was getting so worked up my stomach hurt and I was nauseated. I had taken an Ambien, so I should have fallen to sleep.... but my doc had put me on the lowest dose of Ambien, at my request. I need to be able to get up in the night with my youngest, she is teething so gets up at least once a night.

Who knew I could have an anxiety attack while trying to go to sleep? I didn't get up and get my meds for it. I don't know why, they were just 10 steps away.

I feel trapped. When I don't get things done and they build up, it becomes to overwhelming and I panic. But when I go into a depression, I don't get things done.
