Ugh! I might try to nod off now though. Not particularly confident in that though. I'll probably get too hungry or something. Sigh!

Sorry to hear that, giddykitty.
I have spent countless nights ruminating over things that have triggered my anxiety, and I know it is definitely not fun. It's horrible, in fact!
I'm glad you were able to pinpoint the possible cause of this feeling. I hope you feel better soon and can actively take steps to mitigate the risk of this happening in the future. Some things that come to mind are pillboxes or even pill fobs. Basically, make sure you're taking your meds from the pillbox (or fob) itself; this way, you can check if you've taken them or not. (I apologize if you're already using pillboxes, though. Just an initial thought that came to mind.)
