Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
Does anyone else get super hyper fixated on needing a single thing and the anxiety from needing that thing keeps you awake? Because I grind my teeth in my sleep and haven't used my bite guard in months but tonight I can't stop thinking about it and I can't sleep. On the nights I can't sleep until super late I have noticed I'm getting a lot more night terrors recently too. I wake up in a full out panic attack. Just wondering if anyone else has this problem too? And what do you do to help fix it?
For people who struggle with insomnia, a bedtime routine is a must. Mine includes soothing objects, grounding exercises, a variety of supplements and medication to alleviate anxiety, avoidance of caffeine, breathing exercises, writing things down to get them out of my head, and more.
EMDR was a gamechanger as part of my trauma work.
