Hey I know it’s horrible. Mine have improved since I changed my diet and avoid caffeine. Are you on any treatment. Hope you feel better. I had bad anxiety but it’s a bit better now. However I still get attacks sometimes. I guess it doesn’t permanently go away.

Yea I've got insomnia but I drank coffee earlier cause I was craving it really bad. So its my fault tonight for not being able to get any sleep!! Lol. I'm so glad your able to get rest now. Sleep is a wonderful thing. Glad your anxiety went away. Mines so bad I don't leave my condo. Mine never goes away either!!!

Hi! There is nothing wrong with you. I have the same problem. I'm up most of the night thinking about all the things I don't wanna think about. I haven't really found anything that works for me yet. Sometimes my reprieve is work cause I'll come home from a 12 hour shift and I'm exhausted So I'll crash out for a few hours. I just started therapy so I'm hoping talking about whats been going on will help me to sleep better. I'm so used to bottling everything up inside. I think it finally caught up to me and I'm learning to not hold things in. I hope you can find something to help you sleep! Have a good day at Work!

I bottle things too. It’s the worse. I’m trying to open up but it’s hard. I’ve tried herbal teas and decaf and it helps I try to watch what I eat too cuz certain food can affect your sleep if you eat it before you sleep. Thanks for listening 🙏🏼

Anytime you need someone to listen to I'm always ready to listen! It's hard to open up I struggle with that to. But getting better because I know it'll make me feel better to get things out.

I'm glad herbal teas and decaf help you out. I gotta try the same. I sometimes break down and eat some heavy foods before bed because of my depression. I'm trying to not do that as well as cut back on my tea and sugar a couple hours before bed. Sometimes it's hard. I cut out soda and alcohol though. I love my peach tea though!! Thanks for listening to me! I hope you have a great Saturday!

My friend nothing is wrong with you, I have lots of those nights...I think alot of us do. Especially with anxiety and stress. I hope you get some good rest after work and have a much better sleep night. I'll pray for you my friend...for a calm peaceful mind and soul. Hugs from afar to you 💕🤗😇👭

no I used to be the same way. At one point I would sleep all day and be up all night. Tv after midnight before on demand exsisted was awful.
