3 & melissa, there is hope for getting a good night's sleep on a consistent basis. I am 5-6 months in since BD and I now sleep most nights all the way through. Eventually the panic lessens and you begin to realize how much of this is out of your control. Releasing that will help. I know that's hard to do, but it will happen to you soon! Keep up the hope. Sleep is so critical for us in our ever-tensed up states. It's the only thing that can help keep us sane and patient.
There is also a breathing technique I use when I feel panic setting in if I am trying to sleep. It's kind of a yoga/meditation technique. I concentrate on the breath I feel going in and out of my nose. In, out, In, out. Then you are supposed to concentrate on feeling the air moving across your arms or face and just feel the flow. I usually don't get past the nose breathing and I fall asleep like a baby! It might work for you too. Give it a shot. What can it hurt? You might get a decent night's sleep or figure out you are a heavy nose breather, lol.
You are doing so great 3. I amazed at your capacity for love and insight.
