Night time anxiety

[dbeck128]

Hey all. Who else's anxiety gets worse at night and why?

Also what Is 1 thing you used to have anxiety about but overcome? 🥰

[Nancy99]

Me! And it’s every night. My thoughts go non-stop . So lonely at night and heart-racing feeling.

[dbeck128 in reply to Nancy99]

Mine do too! What's your anxiety about?

[hockeylover91]

I get anxiety worse at night. I think it is just worrying about work or feeling bad for not getting stuff done. I'm still trying to overcome any type of anxiety.

[dbeck128 in reply to hockeylover91]

I have SOME stuff I'd anxiety about and think its silly now. Well not anxiety as it's more of intrusive thoughts I've overcame. Guilt as well. But are you okay tonight?

[hockeylover91 in reply to dbeck128]

Reading this a few days later, I was doing just ok the other night. Tonight I think I'm doing well. I hope your week has been ok!

[Nancy99]

I have stress... I have PTSD, do not trust much and a long time caregiver and no friends. Feel shame to let anyone near know I have anxiety attacks.

[dbeck128 in reply to Nancy99]

I can understand this. Anxiety can make anyone feel embarrassed. I am so sorry you're having a hard time. How are you tonight? Keeping you in my thoughts friend.

[Nancy99 in reply to dbeck128]

Thank you for caring. Its nice to know someone understands.

Always!

Night time anxiety is by far my greatest enemy. It’s like all my worries and procrastinations decide to creep out right as my eyes close. So I end up trying to watch shows or movies on my phone to give distractions but of course that makes my insomnia worse! 🙄

I used to get really anxious around new people and I still kind of do but it’s definitely not as bad as it was. I’m able to carry on a conversation and appear charismatic.

I hate it. And I stay on my phone a lot. It gives me sanity. If that makes sense?

I dont mind new people. Just a struggle in big crowds.

How is your night so far?

[DemureRose in reply to dbeck128]

Yeah I totally get it. I’m on my phone quite a bit. And I’m not even doing anything cool 😂

My nights are sleepless as always 😂

There is something about being laid in bed at night that seems to give us the worst thoughts

When we get up things don't seem so bad

[dbeck128 in reply to lillyofthevalley37]

Totally. I prefer daytime!!!

I think I worry at night because I don’t relax. During the day I can keep busy and that gives me the sense that I am managing things. At night when it’s quiet I feel the anxiety that I was likely trying to run away from during the daytime.

I been having terrible anxiety since June of this year over a health problem with my eye. Woke up & my eye was blurry & didn't know why. Called my eye doctor & went in to see her right away. I have Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy in my right eye & there are no surgeries or medicine that can help. I can see out of my right eye but it is still blurry & not clear & my good left eye helps compensates to see. I been scared since this happen & the anxiety is awful. I'm on a new medicine Lexapro 10mg 1 tablet per day at dinner. This is Day 16 for me on the Lexapro & I don't think it has started to work.I do better in the evening with my anxiety & it's the day time I have the problem & can't stand it. I pray a lot to God & ask him him to take it away. Sometimes a person feels like you're ready to crack up. Prayers for everyone here who is suffering from anxiety!🙏🙌🙏
