This post has to do mainly with anxiety, but it stems from my IBS. About a year and a half ago, I became unable to sleep in bed because of how severe my acid reflux and stomach pains were. Sleeping at a desk became normal for me, and still is. I have tried to start sleeping in bed again, but the thought that I will get sick if I sleep on a bed makes me very anxious. My brain has made me associate beds with being sick, and I know it’s stupid, but it brings me lots of worry. If I try to lay down or sit up in a bed, I get shaky and just end up sleeping at my desk again. I know this is a very specific anxiety that I have, but does anyone have any suggestions of what I could do to try to rid myself of this? I’m worried that I may develop DVT from sitting for 8 hours every night, so I want to be able to sleep in bed again to prevent this.
