Hi. Thank you for posting. Dayum. re Insomnia & anxiety: Have you ruled out nerve related causes? Maybe injury or impingement? I ask because my insomnia and anxiety was largely resolved after spinal surgery. A lumbar fusion eliminated maybe 80% of symptoms. Removing cervical (upper spine) bone spurs another 10%. Prior to that, my doctors had me try all sorts of pharmacological and cognitive treatments. As my symptoms got progressively worse. No one considered a physical cause. That my surgeries helped, necessary for other problems, was just a lucky side effect. None of my reading about anxiety even hints that feeled emotion can have a physical cause, that the physical sensations of anxiety can induce emotional anxiety. Both a mind blow and facepalm obvious at the same time. I'm now using gabapentin to manage remaining nerve pain symptoms. (Don't know if I'm up for another surgery.) Works pretty good, but robs me of my "executive function", so caveat emptor. Good luck. I hope you find some relief.
