I have these feelings all the time, especially when I am trying to sleep. It is annoying and can be scary. Anxiety works in so many ways. I hope you can find some relief.
I can relate... I hope you get some rest.
I think you are over thinking and ruminating over the said same thoughts David,
Your heart is not going to stop that's for sure and I hope you know it deep down ?
But I think most people have these thoughts from time to time I sure do as we all know we're going to die someday let's face it,
Ah their you have it ? Let's face it !
Exactly that . That's the scared bit lol ,we don't have the courage to face it ,if only we had billy connerlys attitude of I Dona care about death after all it's just the same as going to sleep ?
I think when you get like this David laying in bed is not going to help as from my own experience , you will just keep ruminating over and and over .
I think when you are like this ,you should get up go make a cuppa tea (decaf)
Put a movie on or do some cleaning or a crossword or something like that .
Then when your thoughts are on something else and yr nodding off then go to bed and you should sleep.
This is how I deal with it anyhow and I hope this helps somewhat.
When I was really little my MOM would lie down a few minutes with me and we pretended we were redecorating. She asked me to describe the way I wanted it to look, colors, paint or wallpaper . .... it really works.
I also just ask Jesus to please let me sleep in his arms or on his shoulder. Always works ! !
Do you have insomnia or is this just an anxiety moment? I usually try a sleep aid or calming tea - peppermint or sleepy time by celestial seasonings.
