I've also started to have the same feelings in the daytime a lot now. I feel bad at this moment. It's hard for me to talk about it to be honest, even anonymously on the internet, although I have been diagnosed with depression and have had contact with two or three support groups, I do not actually talk about this with anyone.
If my mind is running a million miles a minute, filled with worries about random things, yes I will have trouble falling asleep. This is a common problem with anxiety disorders, but I'm managing mine now so this hasn't happened in quite awhile. Of course it's hard to talk about these things - you don't want to look weak or vulnerable to other people, or what have you - but that can often make it worse. Of course, it's up to you whether you feel the need or feel comfortable seeking support and talking about it, but it would be a good start. Only you know what's best for you.
