Anxiety vs Insomnia

[solobiker]

Thanks for the posts and support. As I said I really don't want to take medication for this as to me it is a "crutch" for the situation not really a cure. I typically sleep well on weekends when I don't have to go to work or when I am on vacation. I don't think my anxiety is a chemical imbalance, I just tend to worry and stress a lot. I am nervous my Dr may try to put me on meidcation which I most likely will decline. As for counseling...I tend to be a very shy person and will be very uncomfortable in a situation like that. I do not like any attention placed on me or "help" because to me then I failed in someway and have a weakness that nobody else has that I know of. It is hard to explain. When ever I am not completely occupied my mind goes to work and and my mind goes right to the negative aspects or the what ifs...kind of a pain. I am trying very hard for this not to happen but it just does.
