Anxiety vs Insomnia

[shootingstar]

If at all possible, solobiker, seek some counselling first to talk things through. Drugs will simply may simply mask root causes which seem to be hanging around for you in last few years.

Like you, I resist taking oral drugs. (actually taking iron supplements was the first thing I took orally in decade except for taking Tyelonol twice for fever/headache.). I know for myself personally if I suppress major "truths" about a personal situtation/stresses and deny such problems, it manifests in major problems in: feeling sleepy during the day...and not sleeping well at night. Deep "truth-seeking" from within myself, helped me over time. But it exhausted me for a few months by living in denial...this has happened twice in life so far. lst time I sought counselling for a year when I was university student decades ago. Thank God...and it gave me insight to help myself much later in life. It is invaluble help....this is what an excellent counsellor can do for you.
