<font color="blue"> </font> I have obsessive compulsive disorder, and when I try to go to sleep at night, I'll lay in bed and worry about things that have happened before and could happen again but have nothing to do with anything that is going on currently.

For example, last night I was laying in bed rolling around with a stomach ache because I was so worried that my husband's kidney stone would start acting up again. His stone hasn't acted up since last year, and nothing was said or done to remind me of it. I laid there in bed sick to my stomach with worry for four hours making a plan of action should his kidney stone start acting up again. I have talked to my doctor and he has put me on more sleeping medicine but it is still not working. As I type this I have gone the last four days with 2-3 hours of sleep a night, and it is killing me.

Has this happened to anyone else? Is this normal? What should I do when this happens?

Thanks for your help.
