Does anyone here have bad anxiety that keeps you awake at night?
I've been struggling to sleep for nearly 2 weeks and I can never get to see a gp but I'm on lots of medication anyway including sleeping pills but I still don't manage to sleep, if it isn't because of pain it's now anxiety and worrying about things that may happen in the future.
