Ive been diagnosed as bipolar with anxiety. Psychiatrist gave me propranolol but said take them in the morning. This isn't much help since I get anxious before bed. Ive read loads of stuff saying don't lay in bed, get up and do something til youre tired, but this just means I don't sleep at all that night. The issues im anxious about are that I had two seizures a few years ago and they said im epileptic. I don't agree with this but the neuro is useless but I cant afford to pay to see one. Even tho I don't take anti convulsants, and I don't have seizures anymore, they wont give up on this epilepsy idea. I feel theyre being lazy. It makes me mad cos I think if ever again I have a seizure, they'll say bam! its cos youre epileptic and don't take meds! so right now I cant change that diagnosis, and I cant do something else till im tired otherwise i'll only sleep about twice a week! What sensible practical stuff can you do for night anxiety?
