This NEW feeling? Why!

[Addds]

So last night, I noticed I had a harder time than usual falling asleep. I kept waking up by little spasms or startles that my body would have. And from that I just kept spiraling with stuff that could possibly be wrong with me, it made me a bit shaky. I didn’t know what could possibly be wrong with me.

I ended up falling asleep a little after midnight. And waking up at round 3:30am (like I usually do) for no apparent reason. Just a bit shaky still. I dont know what.

This Is a new feeling for me. I’m trying my best not to take any prescribed medication (which I didn’t) because I don’t want to become reliant. I was trying breathing, mindfulness, anything to just get over this ugly feeling.

I want to feel normal again 😭

Help me.

Please tell me this will eventually go away, or is this something I’m going to have to cope with forever.

I have 3 kids and I want to be present for them. Sometimes, the things that I do, I’m just like, am I doing this because this is it for me? And I just get so sad. Spiraling.

Help.

I had really bad depression and anxiety and it wasn’t until someone told me about acupuncture I had five sessions and by the fifth one my anxiety and depression were gone but before that I was having major sleep problems just like you

I am so happy for you. Enjoy your day

I would really recommend you trying it. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain

I think I know what you’re talking about, I sometimes wake up in a loud gasp and I have a hard time breathing.

The feeling is awful, but I learned that if I go to sleep with a peaceful mind, I will wake up with a peaceful mind.

Try to relax before you decide to go to sleep. It doesn’t happen to me anymore, I learned to control it and I’ve never had to take any medication for it.
