I'm sure I'm not the only one to feel like this but I haven't been able to sleep properly for the last 2 weeks (since we made the decision to appy and started collating documents etc) and we haven't even applied yet!!!!
Just so excited but also lie awake worrying about getting all the right documents/being approved......
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!!!!!!!!

You're not alone, I was exactly the same. Didn't relax properly until I got a case officer. That was first week in August and now I'm just BORED OF WAITING!!!
You're emotions probably wont settle down until you actually get the visa, it's such a life changing event that it's no surprise we get no sleep, still, I'm sure it'll all be worth it in the end,
hiya bec, i'v been like that since we booked the flights, im full of anxiety, and my head is like a washing machine thinking all kinds all the time, i just cant switch off, your not on your own hun.jane x
When I started the process for us, I was exactly the same, not sleeping, when I did drop off to sleep, I was talking in a half sleep half awake state, it was murder. Then when the TRA stuff went off, I was OK and started sleeping again. It was like someone switching a light on and off. Then when it came back in about 3 weeks with an O.K response it felt great. So stick at it, it will all be worth it in the end.

Hi Keily
God, you are soooooo right about checking e-mails at midnight and again at 6am, I remember it only too vividly.
Whilst we were waiting for Mum's visa last year, I had no difficulty whatsoever in waking up at 5.30am every day, bounding out of bed and sitting at the pooter to see if there was ay news from Oz.
This bit DOES go back to normal. Just over a year later, I had a 9.30am meeting in the office today (uncivilised, in my opinon. 11am is much more reasonable.) I set the alarm for 7 and it duly went off. I hit the Snooze button repeatedly (the thing provides fresh wake-up calls every 15 minutes) till 8.30am when I finally thought, "Right. You have taken it to the wire. Get OUT of This Bed This Instant."
I'm sure I'm not the only one to feel like this but I haven't been able to sleep properly for the last 2 weeks (since we made the decision to appy and started collating documents etc) and we haven't even applied yet!!!!
Just so excited but also lie awake worrying about getting all the right documents/being approved......
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!!!!!!!!
It comes and goes throughout the process I think. There have been times when I've managed to settle and not worry about it until I get news for the next step. Then it starts all over again. I have the feeling that I'll only get worse when we actually get the visa.
