Anxiety strikes again

I struggled this morning with anxiety and without taking any meds I was able to push through my day and had a good day. I decided to try and sleep in my bed and within 20 minutes anxiety strikes again. Why? I dont get it. I'm tired and just want to sleep like a normal person. Had to get a cold pack for my hot flashes and take a half a xanax. Please God take these illnesses we all share away.

Falling asleep is sometimes when my anxiety is at its worse. Nothing to do but lay there and overthink things, no distractions. Sometimes I feel myself counting my heartbeats, waiting for something bad to happen, horrible feeling. Calming music and meditation has helped me greatly. Also avoiding distractions in my life to help me focus on me. You got this.

Thank you very much for that. I am not sure what time I got to sleep but was late getting to work because I was tired. Today has been a better day.
