Hey sorry to hear this. Anything particular driving you crazy? Hopeless is a really rough feeling, but it’s important to reclaim your sleep.

I know it's important for my sleep

[zperry4 in reply to Tonya2020]

Yeah of course. For me it helps to write the thoughts down, do breathing exercises. Don’t lay in bed too long if you can’t sleep, try to do something to tire yourself out. Good luck.

I empathize so much with this right now. I’m not sleeping well and my anxiety has been crazy up and down lately. I’m wondering if you’ve been doing anything to cope with it?

The only thing is praying and talking myself out of it. Helps a lil

You mentioned that praying sometimes helps with your anxiety? Writing my thoughts in a prayer journal helps me with my anxiety as does listening to music.I like Louie Giglio's message I lift my hands where he talks about his struggle with anxiety and panic attacks and highly recommend it as well.

Praying that you have restful sleep this evening. Have you considered listening to music or getting a bit of exercise during the day to try to help with your sleep in the evenings?
