I have a few diagnoses, but I think this is related to OCD or my ADHD and anxiety are tag teaming. Every time for the last week when I try to go to sleep my heart starts racing and at one point I had a panic attack. I’ve tried melatonin and it still happens with or without it. I’m planning on therapy soon but I just got a job and I’m in college so time is scarce in my life.

The only thing that helps is when I stay with my boyfriend I can usually fall asleep more easily because we are very cuddly people and never don’t cuddle in bed. I think it’s because I feel a physical presence so I don’t get lost in my mental void but at home even with my cat or a plush I’m still struggling. 

Has anyone had this happen or have any ideas on how to help? It’s becoming a huge issue and since Im anxious when I do fall asleep I’ve been having very vivid nightmares and don’t sleep well or for long
