Anxiety and my battle.

[notbroken1971]

Well its the same old story, partner goes away and anxiety spikes through the roof. Have tried keeping myself busy and loading up the calendar for a week, its the night times that get me the most when i lay there and try to switch off. So i try to go working on something until midnight and then sleep straight away and be so tired i cant stay awake. Not sustainable i know. I feel bad because what i am dealing with is nothing compared to what i read here so i feel silly. I am focusing on the end of the week and the good times then...the body urge to 'run'becomes overwhelming. What do others do? Need some advice here.

hello, never say that the problem you are having is less important than another one, because it's how you are feeling yourself that is what we have to consider, as each post is taken on it's merits.
I know there is a feeling of anxiety when your partner goes away and wonder whether you are afraid that something might be happening behind your back, as this can be a problem for others as well, so a lack of trust.
If, however this maybe the problem it would be good to know, because what it is doing is forcing your body to sleep so that mentally you don't have to cope with this fear. Geoff.
