{{{{{jmo}}}}} I'm with ya. It's 4:30 here on the west coast and I've been up since 3:00 when I woke up with a start, realizing I forgot to do something at work that may cause a problem later this morning. I'm now locked in OCD mode, obsessing and worrying about something I can't fix right now. Why can't my brain just let me let it go? Why do I have to lose precious (and much needed) sleep over this? Isn't my Lexapro supposed to prevent these attacks? Actually, I guess I'm not having as bad of an attack as I know I would be if I wasn't on it. But I'm still wide awake and I don't have to be up for another 2 hours. Your idea about going outside to look at the stars is a good one. It always helps me to connect with nature when I feel anxious.

Hope you feel better!
