Sleep and Waking Up in a Panic

Just an update about how I'm doing on the higher dosage of Depakote. I went up to 1500mg ER from 500mg ER for two nights and slept better. Then I went to 1000mg ER for two nights and still slept okay. Then went back down to 500mg ER last night and slept well. I woke up when my daughter came into my room, but quickly went back to sleep, so that was good.

I don't know about anyone else, but my heart races several nights a week, right after I fall asleep, usually within 10 to 15 minutes. I often think that there is something missing from the rings on my fingers. Last night I was convinced my wedding ring was a ring that had a large round disk on it, and the disk was gone from the ring. Other nights I'm just sure a ring is gone, and I frantically feel my fingers worrying what I'll do now that I can't find my precious ring. I have several rings on my fingers in real life, but it doesn't seem to matter. I always panic that a ring is missing or it's not the right ring.

I had an intuitive healer work on this issue several years ago, and things got better for awhile. My heart stopped racing for a few months. But, now it's back and I hope that when I do some regression therapy that I might discover the root of my ring/heart racing. For this kind of wake-up doesn't help my sleep, and right now I'm focusing on self-care and trying to keep my mind and body relaxed so that a good night's sleep is easy to come by. If you have any ideas or suggestions as to my subconscious anxiety, leave or a comment or give me a ring. :)
