dealfrank.... how are you doing? Have you managed to get any sleep? I was wondering when I read your last post what you might do to control your environment. Can you lock your door? Would that make a difference for you? This time of year is hard for me too as I approach the time of my mother's passing and when I lost a child. It is hard especially when it is time to try to sleep. Seems so much comes flooding into my head that makes me sad. That is tough enough, I can't imagine how much tougher it must be to be fearful too. I hope you find a way to cope and overcome this so that you aren't being so drained by it.

I was reminded today of something I was having some success with in overcome fear and anxiety that I thought I would share it with you. It is called 'tapping'. I have heard more and more people talking about it lately and having great results. Unfortunately I am not usually very good at sticking with things since I get bored quickly but when I was doing it consistently for a couple of weeks I was sleeping better and coping better all round.

You can google it if you want to find lots of links but the site I liked the best when I went looking is at http://www.tapping.com/ I joined and get the newsletter now too. I just need to read it when it comes in my email instead of putting it off. lol.

When I googled in 'tapping to overcome fear' I found lots of testimonials of people have success by doing the tapping exercises on a regular basis. Might be something you could try. Can't hurt.

Wishing you well. I think I will go do a few rounds of tapping before I attempt to get some sleep. Didn't sleep last night because of some nagging doubts so maybe it will settle me down for tonight.

Take good care.... let me know if you decide to give it a try. Be thinking of you.
