I am lying awake before the sun is even up
Feeling so anxious for no reason
Just want to sleep :(
Hi @marianda8, if you don’t mind me asking, did something recently happen in your life that makes you more anxious than usual or was this something that’s always been around [whether consistent or on-and-off]?
I used to have bad anxiety where I would get panic attacks often in the past and always had depression…
For the anxiety, it’s less prominent now…I cut out a lot of caffeine from my diet[it was insane, I’d drink 7 cups of coffee a day. Its a cultural thing, but also just me being addicted and in love with coffee too much], and limit to one cup a day if I do decide to drink caffeine. I also started working out a lot around that time in my past, to “burn” my worries away. I don’t work out as intensely anymore, but I do go for walks in exchange. I also take edibles…marijuana edibles every once in a while, which will either help or worsen my anxiety depending on the type I took and how I was feeling before I’ve taken them. I don’t recommend it for everyone and don’t wish to push it as a “cure-all”, it just happens to help me is with my chronic pain, sleep, and sometimes regulates my emotions[unless I took the wrong type at the wrong time…]…It has its pros and cons, I’ll leave it at that, as it is not legal everywhere around the world and may be a bit controversial for some.
Anyways…I’m rambling quite a bit. I honestly think my depression just happened to take over now, so I’m less anxious and more “numb”. The PTSD from…various situations probably helped with that too. I don’t really have practical advice other than cut caffeine, exercise, and journal your feelings when you get a chance! Then you can review them, see what triggers your anxiety, and learn ways to cope.
I really do hope everything is going well for you friend, once again, I do apologize for rambling. I tend to ramble to show examples, sometimes I am bad at wording questions and it can come off as rude/nosy, so I give examples to explain myself a bit better.
@marianda8 me too up in mixed state all night and discovered this site. Your not alone in your struggles.
So sorry
sending a hug and some Love if that's ok ?
