Hi. Have you tried deep breathing and a little self  talk ?  I'm sorry you have to suffer with this. I understand the cycle of insomnia and the sleep-deprived anxiety. It's an ugly cycle.

  abetterending yes tryed it last night along with praying alot but ive been praying alot since my aghorphbia started in september i ended up falling asleep  eventually and everything is some what ok today so far

Night time anxiety is awful. Mine started because of a lengthy stay in the bed - once during a taper, and then I spent a year in bed with a back injury before surgery. I also get massive panic attacks in my sleep that wake me up. I often find just the thought of going to bed to fill me with dread. SO, I've developed a few strategies that seem to work for me. Prayer for me is very helpful, especially night time prayers of protection. Also, you are now associating your bed with your kidney stone, so if possible or practical, try sleeping in a different room and in a different bed. When you do go to bed don't focus on sleeping, but instead bring a calming book to read and spend this time focusing outside of yourself. I use an art program on my computer to draw things, or I write in a journal (using a space pen that can write upside-down).  By bringing my thoughts outside of me, by not focusing on sleep, I find that these things help. Switching beds and bedrooms may also help you break the association you have with your kidney stone attack.  I would also strongly suggest seeing a trauma specialist psychologist who can move the traumatic memory of the pain of the stone into normal memory where it won't create all this anxiety for you. There are some good new techniques that can be done over just a few sessions to accomplish this. In the meantime, try to get outside your head by drawing, reading or writing, and perhaps try some of the body relaxation technique and breathing techniques to see if they will work for you.

    I empathize with your situation - to have such a painful memory associated with your bed is awful, but this connection can be broken, so please don't feel your situation is hopeless.

 

thanks for the reply newmoon but switching bed rooms and beds is not an option for me and also going to see a trauma specialist psychologist is also out of the question atleast till i get medicaid im already over 4grand in the whole from the kidney stone  and even if i get medicaid ill be lucky to even find such a dr in my area who accepts my insurance then theres the challenge of leaving the home  im not going to say its impossible but its very difficult i did manage to go to the drs office on 7-27-18  but i was only gone from home for an hour and had high anxiety the whole time  i will try to do the other thing you mentioned and see if they help thanks again for the reply
