Jessie,
If the therapy is not helping you then you may need to seek other options. A psychiatrist can diagnose your condition and suggest a med treatment plan - you can ask for meds that help you sleep and are not addictive.

There are times when talk therapy can be a big help. I do not agree with the advice to talk with the family unless they are very supportive. Families often feel guilt over the unspoken stigmas of mental health issues. Many people find talking about their problems at places like Psych Central gets them the empathy they need and none of the flash back of negative emotions.

The therapist you have may not ever prescribe meds or may not be able to prescribe.

I use an exercise that helps me slow down my racing mind. it helps me relax and not feed the worries.

Breathe Naturally. Silently count 1 on the inhale, 2 on the exhale, 3 on the inhale, 4 on the exhale...continuing this way up to 10. Then start at 1 again.

You cannot do two things at once so it will lessen the amount of energy feeding the anxiety.

You can also be an active member in other ways like supporting others in their questions, reading articles and posts http://forums.psychcentral.com that are applicable to your area of concern.
