Trying to hold it together

[Lemondrp]

I'm having anxiety and depression recently,its exhausting not sleeping and a tight throat. It always seems to stem from not feeling wanted especially during any holidays. I'm not sure if it's a true feeling or not sometimes I feel like my family is so disconnected and opposites yet im in the middle and relay to everybody It's been continuous part of my life. Anyways just wanted to vent thanks for anyone who reads this.

Something I used to do when I felt like that especially at night was get lavender and spray/put it on my pillow. It helped calm me down enough to where I could sleep. I hope that helps.

I take melatonin to sleep, my psychiatrist recommended it, since my anxiety got so bad it would keep me up all night then I would sleep all day. The melatonin has been really wonderful for me, but it doesn’t work for everyone. I have also tried lavender, I would breathe above the bottle right before I went to bed and it really helped.
