I have suffered anxiety on and off for years. I recently had a car accident plus marital issues which have clearly had an impact on me but last week I started to feel a lot better. I don't think about the accident often (maybe once a day) new car sorted and though I'm a bit nervous driving I'm doing it. This weekend gone I started feeling just not quite right. I do sometimes get anxious towards the end of my period so put it down to that. Yesterday felt foggy all day but brightened up by tea time went swimming and fell asleep at 815 (too early but was tired). This resulted in me being awake at 315 and unable to get back off. Today I had a good day but started to get terribly anxious at tea time and on and off all evening with sone intrusive thoughts and waves of anxiety. I managed to stay awake til 10 when I fell asleep until 11 then wham woke up really anxious. I'm now wide awake but tired tingly all over and so frustrated. Why when I had started feeling ok have I gone backwards? I don't want to feel like this!!! I have so much to look forward to and want to shake myself! !! Any ideas???

Hello Joloto69: I'm sorry you're having this difficulty. I don't know as I have any particular ideas to offer you here. Perhaps this is simply a delayed reaction to your car accident? I know I'm sometimes awake much, or all, of the night. And most of the time I have no idea why. It just seems to happen.

From my perspective, about the best you can do is to be sure you're eating properly, getting enough exercise, etc. & see how things go. If this continues to be a problem you may want to consider delving into what's going on with whatever mental health professionals you see or seeking some mental health services if you currently do not have them. It may be that your accident, plus the marital issues you mentioned are weighing on you without you even realizing it.
