Anxiety Support Group
Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...
it is 1:30 where I live right now and I'm exhausted. I don't know why but today for some reason I have had an overwhelming feeling of anxiety. It's occurred all day and now I can't even fall asleep because of it. I don't know how to stop my thoughts from racing and overthinking but it's just too much. I just want today to be over and now I can't even sleep.

I know how you feel. Have you tried progressive muscle relaxation that can help release some of the tension from your body.

2 am here on the east coast. Insomnia is a big symptom of anxiety. Been there many times. Usually I make up for it the next day when the body just wants to sleep.

Have any camomile tea?

I understand the feeling of extreme anxiety. Have been having it for several days now. Does listening to music relax you? Visualizing somewhere you feel safe and comfortable. Or you favorite beach or park. Take slow deep breaths.

I was the same last night, it was about 2.30 again I got to sleep and I'm exhausted today! I didn't have access last night but normally I do a guided sleep meditation by Jason Stephenson! He's on YouTube, I swear by him! I also find reading before bed helps as it serves as a distraction. I hope you have better night sleep tonight!

I'm not one to say to take medication but I've been on multiple anti depressants (hated each of them and how they made me feel), my doctor wanted me to take xanax and I shot that idea down, so I take Ativan PRN and it calms me down and even helps me sleep. My mind stops racing and I just feel normal.

Hello. I can truly understand the problem of overthinking especially at night. Anxiety usually occurs when we are worrying about something. Have you considered what may be causing you to worry? If so, what could be the root of the situation you are facing? It may help by going beyond surface of what could be causing the anxiety. I pray you are able to sleep well tonight.
