Sleepless Nights and Nausea

Idk what it is but the last few nights sleep has been about nonexistent. Normally I'd have no problem falling asleep and staying asleep even before I started using Xanax. Last nights for example, I was in bed around 9 or 10 as usual (lame I know) then next thing you know it's 12am then 2, then I fall asleep but I'm tossing and turning, I'll wake up for an hour or so then back to sleep for a little. I am drawing near my cross country drive, alone, to move back home to Chicago so idk if that has anything to do with it, but I don't even feel that I've been too worried about that. Also the last few days I've just felt sick. Just blah. Nauseous like all day, it comes and goes. I don't puke or anything but like this morning I woke up nauseous and met a friend for lunch and barely ate because I felt I was going to throw up if I or anything down. Took some Xanax, felt a little better. I've been belching up gas a lot lately that makes me feel a little better and interesting enough eat....makes the stomach settle down and I won't feel sick. So weird. I kept telling myself this will pass and it's anxiety but it's getting tough when it's like every day feeling like crap. I am hoping to hurry home to Chicago and begin this Prozac. Stomach issues are the worst lol it can ruin my entire day and mood.

The mild nausea has been going on for a while now. It comes and goes over the last month or so. Sometimes it gets better if I take a tums other times no luck. When I mentioned it to my doc last month she didn't seem concerned. She said all my blood work and what not looks good and hat I'm fine. Hard to believe it though when I know what I'm feeling.

Lack of sleep is a nightmare and has a knock on effect for everything else including anxiety.

I would suggest you goto bed much later I used to goto bed around 9.30- 10pm and never actually got to sleep until around 1.30 - 2pm. The problem is that your brain gets used to being awake when you are in bed so it's harder to get to sleep. I know goto bed around 12ish and find it much easier to get to sleep but if I wake up I get up and sit next to bed and do a bit of reading till i'm tired again then go back to bed so my brain only associated my bed with sleep if that makes sense lol.
