Highs and lows

I’ve been laying in bed the last two hours feeling bummed out and anxious 🙄🙄🙄. Why can’t I just be happy at the moment. I just want to sleep.

Sorry, Raq. It stinks when we want to sleep but can't. :/ I hear you.

Thank you for commenting. I just wish I was okay you know. But my mind races. But thank you for caring. ☺️it’s nice knowing I can vent.

😊👍 Sure thing. It's good to have a listening ear.

This happens to me all the time and it’s always really hard. Sometimes I’ll have a pretty good day for the most part, but then I’ll get into bed and my mind just starts racing and floods with anxious thoughts that often spiral out of control. I try and tell myself that I need to relax and that I can’t control everything, especially late at night, and I watch or listen to ASMR. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn’t and I end up crying/panicking myself to sleep. I hope we’re both able to find some peace tonight.

Usually I read a book or keep myself busy. But there are times when I don’t want to do anything! And that’s tonight. Aww I’m sorry to hear that. When it’s really really bad I cry as well. But I’m sure the good days are coming for both of us 🙌🏽

So was the issue insomnia? Hate that! And if I get up and try to do sonething “boring” like the skeep Dr said, I am just awake😂😂 ugh!

Do you by chance live in the North? So many Northerns are struggling this year because of snow and cold. Really amps tge seasonal depression/anxiety!

I like hot epsom salt baths. Lots of salt, more than I thought. Googke to get proper amounts. Helps to relax me. Worth a try.

You are not alone!!!!! Sending peace and skeep your way!
