I know the feeling right. Try watching a movie or listening to an audio book or do something that will distract you from thinking about what is going on around you. That may not help you sleep early but it can relax you a bit so you can sleep.

Muskrat, I understand completely. My anxiety is always worse at night. I have been drinking chamomile tea at night and it’s been helping. There is a study I saw that showed it can help with anxiety. Praying for you now!

muskrattiger,
It's disrupting my life..........Usually, for me music trigger's it for me. I could be listening to my music at the gym, and it would start.........So, I have to stop right in the middle of my workout.

Someday;s are worse then others.

Sorry i can't offer any advice.

(updated) That's overwhelming for me too. Sometimes I take a small amount of standardized Valerian to sleep. It's an herbal sedative, so it shouldn't really be mixed with alcohol or other sedatives. I'm small, so I never take a whole capsule or I'd be too drowsy to drive the next day. To balance Valerian's depressive effect I take B vitamins with it. Bs rev up brain activity. It's like a balancing act to sedate and rev up, but it's with all natural supplements so there are less side effects.. This is a big challenge for a lot of us. You're not alone.

    I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying.  I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there.  I think that I will start writing in it again.  It's so therapeutic.

    So voc rehab finally got in touch with me...it took like six months finally.  The voc rehab person that they assigned to me is a lawyer and extremely knowledgable on disability law and he seems to know a great deal about how to get people placed in jobs and how to make their resumes pass ATS.  I was really surprised at how articulate and energetic he is.  I guess my question is how much I...
