I just can't rest. My head just keeps going never turns off. So many things to get done. I've been waking up in the middle of the night just stressing about stuff,marriage, my parents, my kids, finances. It's just making me nuts.

Hei Clue, that sounds annoying but from what I can see it's the things you have to do that are on your mind. I would suggest you to try and visualize your time and realize that for the sleeping period nothing will change even if you sleep, even if you worry .

Try to respect that sleep time frame and really, really acknowledge that you can start handling those after waking up(a schedule will help).

Most important thing to focus on is that "sleep is key for productivity" so by sleeping when scheduled you are already doing everything that you can do at those hours.

Thank you. I will try

I have dealt with this issue on and off for years.

Anxiety meds seem to help but hurt in other areas.

Life has become way too complicated and I have no answer for that.

Your right about the complications. Especially when your dealing all alone.

I am alone.

That's why I am here.

I need help and obviously so do each of us.

I can't tell you how to remedy your problem other than to say that strenuous exercise eases my stress and helps me sleep.

I am here for you.
