About to do a pretty big exposure…
I’ve been posting on here the last few days about how I haven’t been able to sleep. My fight or flight took over and now I get anxious about going to sleep. I’m on vacation so I’m away from my doctor and therapist. I called my doctor to get something sent in to help me while I’m away. Bc I’m running on 3 days of 0 to little sleep. She called in Xanax and I’m terrified of Xanax but it’s 0.5 a night. I am very scared of benzos but I’m so exhausted and I want to sleep so badly. And I’m too scared to not do anything about it. But ocd doesn’t do well with medication and it’s already telling me that the Xanax won’t work and if it does work I’ll get addicted. It’s a double edged sword but it must be done bc insomnia is scarier to me at the moment and I’m tired of feeling panicked
