i can't sleep
does anyone have advice for falling asleep with severe anxiety? i take forever to fall asleep because of it and wake up a bunch of times during the night and it comes back so bad every time. i'm so tired of this, i genuinely feel like i'm going crazy.
Once I was also going through it . I figured out my ways to deal with it. You can talk with me I will hear and support you when you will feel something like that :) . Just message me . You are not alone . :)
I've always had insomnia so I feel for you. I use a few things to help but stress makes it worse definitely and I end up having nightmares.
I personally use asmr before bed, youtubey sound effects, rainfall, beach waves, alsorts on there.
I've also dabbled in journalling it just helps me get things out in the open.
You can try deep breathing.
Or you can have a lil word with your brain and say Look, this is a lot I'm going through but I'm exhausted so although you are important, I will deal with you in my own time, when I'm ready, ok brain? Now leave me be for some shut eye. Thanks.
And of course the forums are great and requesting a Listener can be helpful too :)
@ScrabbleBrain thank u sm it's nice knowing i'm not alone. i also used to journal, i might go back to it!
@juleswil You're welcome I hope it helps, now I just go to sleep when I'm really tired, unless I have an early start :)
@juleswilyes I do
@juleswil It sounds draining and frustrating to feel anxious at night and not being able to go to sleep. You're not crazy for feeling this way. Its very courageous of you to get through nights like these.
