[quote=Anonymous]OP: I would say get a sleeping pill. Melatonin first, then ask a doctor for Lunesta or something. With my anxiety, the lack of sleep increased my anxiety which made it harder to sleep and it became a vicious cycle. When I got some sleep, I was finally able to do other things I needed to do to get my life under control. I didn't need the sleeping pills for long. Of course you will need to be sure somebody can be with the baby during this time if needed. Here is the book I always recommend for anxiety (it isn't just for phobias). It was better for me than Xanax and my psychiatrist highly approves of the book. Sadly it requires some time alone, which is hard with a baby, but I think getting a handle on your anxiety is the most important thing in your life right now. https://www.amazon.com/Anxiety-Phobia-Workbook-Edmund-Bourne-dp-1684034833/dp/1684034833/ref=dp_ob_title_bk Anyways, I'm sorry OP. This happened to me too and it was so hard. Anxiety sucks.[/quote]
