Thank you @ErikaS for your kind words. your right I believe not taking any type of prescription drugs benefited me. For Sleep I was getting 3hrs a night and still working a full time job. I would cry to and from work in the car so my son wouldn't see me. I told my oldest brother I had a plan to end it. I even started wrapping clothing around my neck to see how far I could push myself to doing it.

The tones in my head became sirens like @DeanD
One day my partner turned on the TV and it was a little loud and my 3yr old covered his ears and said 'ouch Daddy my ear hurt' .. I broke down and realized he was developing sensitivity by proxy. Anxiety turned into anger I wasn't panicking anymore I was mad of how much I was letting it control me

After that well is when I took time at the beach house. I'll be honest I didn't cope with the anxiety good and was borderline line almost put in the mental ward. But I will say what kept me going was my baby boy. I fought everyday for him. I wanna see him grow old and have children I wasn't gonna let T take that from me
But to answer your question sleep went from 3hrs to 7 then from 7hrs to 9. I never tried masking cause of reactivity I think my brain just adapted to blairingly loud T people might call it habitation but i think at one point i just stopped giving a shit lol but very hopeful you will overcome this 
@Sammy0225 wish there was a "love" button for all of this. Amazing ❤️
