Every night.
Every night I fall asleep then wake up a few hours later and can't sleep at all. Usually racing thoughts. Tonight no racing thoughts but the same anxiety as if I am having racing thoughts. Anxiety and tight chest, rapid heartbeat, as if i am having a heart attack. But I'm just annoyed and hanging out out of bed because I can't sleep.

Trying to participate in chat but eyes are watery, can't see well, can't read, can't type correctly, and there's no one else there.

Hi dexter,
I'm sorry u're feeling bad. And i'm sorry to ask u this. May I ask at what time do u take ur meds? I've had the same problem before, but I figured, I can't follow my pdoc prescription. He told me to take my meds at night. The thing is, I felt sleepy after several hours and went to sleep, but usually woke up at 3 or 4 am feeling the same rush and anxiety as u do. My mind was fully awake and thinking about a lot of thing, usually my past, present, and future. Thus, I asked my pdoc to change my daily intake to evening, and he said okay. After that, everything works just fine for me. I don't know if we have a similar case, but maybe u could talk to ur pdoc about that.

I am not currently on any anti-depressants. I've been doing well off of them for about ten years, and two months or so ago my depression symptoms suddenly came back (including the insomnia). I take prescriptions for other ailments but I don't think any of them effect my sleep.
HOWEVER after posting this I finally got a few hours of rest but when I woke up I had a hacking cough. After a few hours I got concerned and went to the doctor, turns out I have pneumonia. I'm on an antibiotic now and feeling pretty miserable. So maybe that was percolating last night and causing the strange night.

I think the antibiotics are kicking in quickly... In any case the coughing eased up by about 1am, and I took some Nyquil to help with the cough and the sleep, and managed to get a few hours. Feeling somewhat better this morning. Biggest complaint is my ribs hurt from all of that coughing yesterday.

The office that diagnosed the pneumonia and gave me the prescription for the antibiotic wants to see me again tomorrow; I have an appointment for tomorrow morning.

Hopefully everything will work well for u tomorrow. U're a fighter, I know u'll be fine. And I hope ur condition will get much better than u're now. I certainly wish the doc will have a good news to offer regarding on ur pneumonia. Finger crossed! Take care!

yeah i rarely ever go to the doctor for those things... but its good to do it - i know i should have gone a bunch of times but refused to for stupid reasons...
i guess mostly just anxiety about the doctors - i have never really trusted them much :/ 1 time i had pneumonia and was on my birthday - and i just didnt care.. wanted to try to have fun - partying, everything.. ended up cracking 1-2 of my ribs from the coughing.. added a few weeks to the recovery... it sucks pretty bad... but would of been better if i went to the doctor and rested instead of acting like a fool i guess the moral of this short story is to not ignore your body telling you that you are dieing and go to the doctor when its telling you to! oh and also be good to yourself instead of staying up for days partying.. hope that by tomorrows appointment those antibiotics will have kicked in really good and start killing that stuff off quick - nasty stuff, that pneumonia

I do feel as if the antibiotics are already working. I was happy that they asked me to make the follow up appt so quickly as it gave me confidence i'd be back on my feet quickly. Trying to take it easy today.
Except that the bed that was supposed to arrive yesterday came today and the UPS guy needed my help carrying it in... That put me out of breath but now I can relax the rest of the day and don't have to worry about the doorbell ringing so maybe I'll try again for some sleep. And I'll deal with the huge box that's too heavy for me to move later or over the weekend. The hope was that I could open it and take the pieces upstairs myself but given the circumstances I didn't leave myself room to open the box to do that. Will deal with that later. If I get some rest i'll be anxious to put it together
