No more 24/7 anxiety. Things might just be stress an anxiety. I know those 2 things can send me into a bipolar episode though. Also here's a CBT for insomnia thing my pdoc wrote and it's got a chart where you can track your sleep. One more thing here's a thing about Mood music. On the second page it has some suggestions about what to listen to if you can't sleep. Personally if I can't sleep and actually want to I like to use guided meditation. You can find a lot of them on youtube. I like the ones by the honest guys the best.

Hope you feel better soon.
Thanks for tips will check an out. I also love TheHonestguys too. Been a fan for years. I'm changing doctors I don't think my doctor doesn't seem to care anymore. He isn't taking me seriously either. Hopefully my new doctor is nicer than he is. Been knowing him since High School for 8 years. Now I think it's time for a change. I'm just wondering what causes the yelling thoughts when I try to sleep. It's almost making me too scared to sleep now. I used to love to sleep. Honestly I'm seriously starting to think it's stress/anxiety. I wish time would fly by so I can see my doc and my psychiatrist. Sheesh. I need some relief. Not getting sleep is gonna drive me nuts. My current doc doesn't recommend anything to me at all like yours does. All he does is throws meds at me. And they wonder why I am what I am now. Never go to a sports doctor. He never gives me advice for eating the right foods, how to sleep better, etc. Pretty much gave up on me. Didn't even help my dad my dad has mild skin cancer from smoking and he quit and he gets high blood pressure. So its nuts going through that the doc tells him to exercise and he can't go outside. So wish me luck. I hope I can sleep better tonight. I would take Zzzquil at night but I'm too afraid too.
