Why is it so important that you sleep? What’s the worst that can happen? You will feel tired during the day?

If you change your attitude towards your anxious thoughts and feelings from what if to so what, those pesky symptoms will gradually fade away. It’s not simply a case of saying so what and you instantly feel better, your acceptance of the symptoms has to be genuine. When you truly accept, your mind and body can begin the natural healing process which is currently being delayed because you are not accepting.

If you can’t sleep, don’t force it. That just makes things worse. Make a drink, read a book. I’ve been there and know what it feels like. I also know the power of acceptance which will bring permanent relief and the best tranquilliser money cannot buy.

High tolerance, no pun intended.....because even the most tolerant can make a fatal mistake eventually, I would seriously seek help.

Sleep’s probably not going to happen so go with the flow. You’ll feel lousy tomorrow more down to the booze and pills but you can hopefully just take it easy. Go out for a walk once it’s light enough and just get on with your day even if it’s lying on the sofa watching rubbish TV. It’s just one night and you will sleep again. No more fretting. No more booze and pills. It’s lunchtime in London btw! 😊
