Anxiety & sleep

Hey everyone,

I hope I can get some good tips here. I am in the midst of going through a tough time with my anxiety. At one point the anxiety was affecting my sleep in the middle of the night, so much so that my pdoc put me on seroquel to help me sleep. It was a good run but it turns out it was starting to raise my liver levels, so I had to be taken off of it. Now I'm back to square one, afraid that my anxiety will cause me insomnia even though I slept fairly well off of the meds last night. My question is this: has anyone else experienced nights where they woke up with knots in the stomach/pounding heart/etc and if so, what worked best for you to get through it and not fear it? My therapist and I have talked about acceptance of anxiety and it sounds like a good thought, I just would like to hear of others who have had success with it.

I know the fear is driving it - I just want to be able to nip it in the bud.

Thanks all!

J
