Okay, I know I haven't posted anything in awhile. I have my reasons. Back in April I suffered from the same flu twice. One of the symptoms was sleeplessness(in others that had it they couldn't stay awake). It would seem now that my sleeplessness has become psychological. For example, last night I didn't get to sleep until around 3:20am. I went to bed at 12am. I had to be up at 8am and I only got 3 and a half hours of sleep. Why? After about an hour of not being able to fall asleep, I started getting anxiety. I flew into a panic and cried in bed for a couple hours. My mind at night can't seem to STFU, I have no clue what is bothering me. My mind just feels busy. Then I'll worry about not being able to sleep. One big vicious cycle. I also know that I am stressed. My period is a few days late.

Last night wasn't the only time it's occurred, it's happened at least 3-4 times after I was sick up until now. I have been drinking Sleepytime tea Herbal tea and Sleepytime Tea Extra(it has valerian root in it) when I have to work. The tea does work most of the time. Some nights it doesn't. Originally I was using over the counter sleep aids(only took 5-6 of them), I've stop taking them since I don't need to be addicted. I will be going to see a psychiatrist on May 29. Hopefully he can help me with my problems.

I feel really tired, so hopefully I'll be able to sleep.
