I suffer from anxiety. Mainly health anxiety in sometimes the extreamest of forms when I think something is wrong with me.
When I think something is wrong with me (for example I find a lump, I may bleed in between periods- all diagnosed as hormonal btw) all I want to do is go to bed and sleep. When I don't have any symptoms of a illness tho I spend my day going to the toilet and checking if Im bleeding. This can be even when I'm on a day out/out shopping. I can't go an hour with out checking.
However when I'm 'ok'...no worried about anything, as soon as I have a chance to sleep I will. If my DS is having a nap... so will I. If my eldest DD is watching a movie I crave sleep and will doze off.
I'm not tired tho! I sleep like a baby all night and my OH helps with DS in the night as I like to sleep. The reason I like to sleep is tho I am not sure because like I said, I'm not tired. I just crave the switching of feeling.
My house is immaculately clean and tidy - some people say I could have OCD - and I run my days like clockwork. It's just I crave sleeping. I'm not lazy, overweight (far from it)...It seems like I crave switching off.
I don't want to be like this. I want to enjoy watching a programme when my DS is having a nap, or enjoy that time going into the back Garden...not diving on my Sofa and curling up and kipping! I don't know why I do this.
Iv just woken up btw from a nap as my DS has his. I did plan to sit in the back and read a book but the temptation to sleep was too hard
