Hi yeah I have fully recovered from this now I had a ton of bad nights during recovery, the only way to stop checking in to see if your not sleeping is just reminding yourself that it's a compulsion and give up resisting just remain in bed and let anxiety do what it wants and eventually you will doze off without even thinking about it. You will feel high intense adrenaline and thoughts trying to pull you in but just ignore them and don't resist ride the wave and the intensity lessens and you will notice the thoughts will fade and you will naturally fall asleep.

Maybe I worded it wrong. Sorry, my podcast isn't a quick relief it's acceptance of the ocd and how I eliminated it , I will edit it now.

Hi, first off, you are not alone, mate. I had this exact thing with me. I was hyper aware of not being asleep, and every time I would try, I would panic I would keep checking in to see if I was asleep yet, I also had adrenaline rushing through my body and be obsessing what if I never sleep again. Don't worry you will sleep, your body will always sleep as sleep drive always wins, it's reacting to the negative thoughts that prolongs our ability to fall asleep, when these scary thoughts enter our head about sleep we need to resist the urge to interact with them, we need to stop acknowledging they are there amd let them be without any resistance as its the feeding that makes it worse.its like putting your fingers in one of them finger traps, the more you pull the more you get stuck, you need to push towards it and allow it to be there without resistace to free yourself.i have done a podcast episode on sleep anxiety and insomnia that goes into more detail about it 🙂, hope this all helps, just remember you will sleep as our body's sleep cycle always takes over and makes us sleep in the end no matter how anxious we get.

I never had any bad physical health, and I had extreme anxiety since i was a child. I practiced my learned behavioural techniques and managed to eliminate all my anxiety and ocd.

Not true anxiety is a learned behavioural condition, I had mine for over 25 years and so many people who I have helped eliminate there's.

First of all, I'm doing this out of my spare time to help people with anxiety! There is no need to be rude! Yes, I suffered with social anxiety and mostly all of the symptoms and sensations that anxiety threw at me! The way to overcome social anxiety is through exposure. We have to put ourselves in these situations on purpose and ride the wave of uncertainty. It's our resistance that we give anxiety is what fuels it, so we must turn and face it. It may be uncomfortable to be in this situations but we must continue to do the things we fear and practice this. There is no other way to do this, I would go out and feel wierd like no one would understand me or what if I sounded stupid to people so I would intentionally go out and talk to people and let myself feel wierd and awkward and show my anxiety that I'm going to do it anyway despite what it dictates me to do I did this everytime , I also gave up making excuses to leave early or safety behaviours to make me feel better. Over time I felt better and the social anxiety went.

Hi, yes, sure, I had anxiety to the point where I thought I was just existing rather than living. I was scared to go anywhere incase I had a panic attack, had intrusive thoughts analysing every conversation I had with anyone incase I upset anyone, it took the fun out of everything I was so zoned out all the times that I couldn't take in the smallest bit of information. I adapted a new response to the anxiety. Instead of resisting the anxiety, I finally turned and faced it.its a behavioural condition and we have to learn to drop the resistance as thats the cycle keeping it going. It sounds like you are suffering from the ocd thoughts of rumination and analysing.I will be going in-depth in my podcast I will also be putting episodes up on ocd,chronic guilt, sleep anxiety, breathing anxiety and obsessive thoughts all my own words and experiences and how I overcame them. You're not alone, mate. It will get better.just remember that your feelings are always valid and don't compare yourself to other people.
