I'm dreading next week ... I live with my boyfriend, and when I lived alone before, I was always paranoid, somewhat OC and had the worst time sleeping.

There's some useful info in the *coping tips & tricks* folder. Setting a bedtime routine & de-stressing have helped me. I know what it's like to be alone, Briane. My anxiety is sky high & makes for bad nights. For almost a year now,

I take .25 mg of Xanax when I have trouble falling back to sleep. It usually only happens when I am PMSing, which is good because I don't want to depend on it all the time.
Can you ask your Dr for something like that?

My partner has been gone almost three weeks, so I know what you're talking about. A few things I do that help to some extent is too sleep on her side of the bed, use her pillow, and even sleep in one of her tshirts. It doesn't take it all away but it is somewhat of a comfort for me. You might want to try it.

Thank you everyone for your responses and suggestions! I will give sleeping in the bed the first night a try and see how it goes .. I'm sure I will either end up on the couch or at my parent's, probably on the couch! Watch for more crazy posts next week from me though lol ;) *hugz* everyone!
