Insomnia in early sobriety
'nuff said. I hate this insomnia crap. I'm trying to come off benzos (doctor prescribed), weaning slowly, which has a big part in that.
But I hate this, I feel like I am coming off a bender because I am so sleep depived, but I didn't use or drink whatsoever. Very frustrating. My head gets so foggy I don't even feel safe to operate a motor vehicle after not sleeping for a night.
Then my anxiety kicks in - well what if you can't nap later either? what if you can't sleep tonight? What if you can't sleep when you start your new job next week and you get fired as a result of being not functional? What if you never sleep again?
Of course, this anxiety only causes more insomnia. Feeding the cycle.
This too shall pass. This too shall pass. Ugh.
