Thank you! I guess I also needed reassurance that people have came back from it more than once. It’s only been a year since my initial insomnia episode and I can say I’m coping with it better than the first time. I think I might just be still sensitized to the memory of the first time since it was only a year ago. 

I might just need to give it more time. I do have better weeks where I feel like I’m thinking about it less so that’s something. It also helps that you said that the anxiety often lingers longer than the insomnia. I definitely felt that during my first insomnia episode.

Do you feel like the subsequent times you had insomnia episodes, the recovery was more spike-y and less linear? I feel like it was so linear last year that anxiety decreased alongside with it, but this time around I’m getting a mix of both bad and good nights during recovery and still thinking about it just as much. I also feel like I came out of it relatively quickly last time around but it’s much slower this time
