I am not diagnosed with an anxiety disorder, but I experience very anxious spells a couple times a year. I am experiencing my worst one yet right now, and I'm not sure how to deal with it. I just moved to a new place where I am alone and don't know anyone, and my actual move-in day was the day of the riots in the Capitol. The combination of these two factors has really sent me into a serious anxiety spell. I haven't been able to eat or sleep much for the last three days and it is only making things worse. I met with a doctor yesterday to get help for the sleep issue and he gave me gabapentin which I took last night to no effect. I'm at the point where I start to get extra anxious before bedtime with the fear that I won't fall asleep again. I can't get any anxiety meds until at least next week when I have an appointment with a psychologist. Has anyone experienced this before, and how have you had success in calming down enough to fall sleep?
