Having trouble sleeping because of depression and anxiety.

Hi, so this has only started recently and I'm not sure what I can do to help it? I have anxiety attacks every night and it will take me hours to try and get to sleep, please help.

Hello Chelsea

Welcome to the Beyond Blue Community. My name is Paul. Having an anxiety attack can be an awful feeling. I had them in my early 20's so I understand how you feel.

The first step is to book in and see your GP. They are well trained on anxiety and will be able to assist you. Having the attacks at night will be so draining and sleep depriving like you mentioned

Please see your GP asap please. You are more than welcome to post back as many times as you wish Chelsea.

It would be great if you could let us know how you go
