Hi @willow12
Here's an article by the Sleep Foundation on the link between anxiety and trouble sleeping.
Have you ever tried any techniques such as improving your 'sleep hygiene', or sleep restriction? I can give you some advice and post some resources if you think that might be useful?
Are you interested in perhaps speaking to a therapist at all? That could help tackle all three problems, and you can make a self-referral without having to speak to your GP first.0 -
Thank you I'm on a waiting list too see a councillor1
