I was never on medication. I'm going to a pdoc soon but I just like to get some idea from those who have this anxiety.

Ever since the onset of the attack, I've been having daily anxiety about going to bed / sleeping. It has been 4 months now. But it's not that every night, I have a severe panic attack. But I'm definitely having faster heartbeats when I am already going to sleep and I'm always having trouble 'falling asleep'. I've had a few sleepless nights / very light sleeps due to this. I've also had experiences of waking in a panic attack (but not frequently).

Before I developed this anxiety, I was a very good sleeper (almost thought of myself as a narcoleptic). That's why I feel somewhat depressed over this because it feels like I've lost something that I can do so easily.

My trigger is night time / whenever I feel sleepy.

The way I manage now is just to "not mind" the anxiety even though it's there. I'm trying to ignore it and continue with my life. But my quality of life is definitely not the same as before and has been affected greatly.

This may be what insomnia feels like but I don't want to label myself as such because I can still fall asleep (for some reason). Maybe 90% of the time and around 6-7 hours. But I have a recurring / obtrusive thought every day that I won't be able to sleep which, according to my therapist, may be due to my OCD. This thought alone affects my entire day and gets stronger at night.
