I told pdoc I couldn't sleep, that all I did all night was lay there and worry. He stated that's normal, people with insomnia often worry how they will get through the next day while they are unable to sleep, or worry about finances or health or children, etc.

I asked him if this sounds "normal" to him. At 1:30 am the internet just died. No big deal, I should have been sleeping anyway. But no, I'm in the main room resetting the router, numerous times, to no avail. I'm looking for a phone bill to get a number to call customer service, but I'm on paperless billing, and need the internet to see my bill. Then I began to think "I'm sure I paid the bill" but "maybe I forgot?" So I needed to check my bank account to be sure I paid the bill, but I NEED the internet to do that too!! This is roughly 3 am, I'm getting dressed to drive 6 miles to the ATM to see if I paid my damn phone bill. I walk outside to see pitch black night, realize WTH I'm doing, and turn around to go back inside. I finally fell asleep around 4am, need to get up at 6.

He just stared at me. Nope, not normal, you're right. I got a diagnosis, prescription for Buspar for anxiety, and trazadone to help me sleep.

Does your worrying look anything like that?
