can't sleep...

My toe is killing me and aleve is not helping. I can't sleep. All these ridiculous worst-case scenerios are racing through my head as to what might be wrong. It's probably something stupid like a hangnail, but my brain has come up with some doozies in the last 2 hours. Anyone else get like that sometimes? I feel stupid for worrying so much about something probably trivial. I don't normally catastrophize things so badly :/
Anyone got suggestions for being able to sleep through the pain and not end up thinking I may lose a leg? o_O

I hope you feel better and can get to sleep! I tend to start thinking about worst case scenarios too, idk y but I do. Is there anything you can do to get your mind off of it? I know it's much easier said than done. Listening to music or something?

The music is kEeping me awake :/ but at least the toe pain is a little less. The creepy thing is I have an all-day commitment tomorrOw (today) so bring awake right now kinda sucks. Normally I can take it easy if I don't sleep at night. Oops.
Maybe I will try to find my sleep track on the iPod. That usually helps. Thanks for jogging my memory about that

Did you end up sleeping. I fixate on the smallest of feelings sometimes and it creates this snowball affect. I've gone so far as to think my hair had cancer because I believed my eyebrows and hair "hurt".... My husband, needless to say, thinks I'm funny...

I ended up getting sleep later in the day. Today's another mayor tho. I came down with a cold all of a sudden, and more can't sleep because of that. But at least my throat feels better now (I'm the biggest baby when it comes to sore throats).
