I am sooooooo tired but I can't shut off the mind tonight so many thoughts going through my head and not many of them good. I cant seem to listen to the good ones, but the bad are not a solution...I have already tried music and low lighting....I can not do a shower or scents right now....have already fed the cravings that I was having... any other suggestions?
(((BIG HUG))) I'm know exactly how you feel, glad your here! It does get better, and the IT is YOU!
(maybe not tonight) Hold on.... zone out on mindless stuff, or other peoples problems, drama, crime.....
Hope you get some relief fast....
Good luck
Sorry you're having a tough time getting to sleep... what I've found helpful is reading, if I can. Journalling, about whats on my mind sometimes helps. If i can't write or read, I do something else distracting from racing thoughts and anxiety.... play a computer game, do a puzzle, word search, crossword, or watch a movie.
Has your Dr prescribed a sleep med?
