..we would all take it if there was such a thing, eh......

..seriously though, I know that what happened when you were 16yrs has no bearing on your not being able to sleep now/it's a set pattern that you're not able to break and obviously concerned about it so that concern isn't helping and will only make a restful night less likely and so it goes on and on etc...but I do think that understanding where your anxieties in life come from and how you typically cope with them is something that could help with this because the connection did seem to start there/if that makes sense..?...and hypnotherapy (relaxation)..combined with CBT..(understanding your thought processes and their effects on you..).. sounds like something that could really help you atm...
