It’s 3:30am and the anxiety is rearing it’s head

[Theloudone]

I’ve been up since 1:15am and I’ve been sick all day. Actually sick, nauseous and throwing up. My head is pounding. The house is silent and my thoughts are racing. I hate this silence, I hate the night. I hate life rn.

Hi and sorry to hear that you're sick. Hopefully you'll feel better emotionally once you feel better physically. I know that when I'm physically sick my emotions go haywire.

Yes, every time I feel sick- my anxiety and depression get worse.

Thank you

Good morning. It's 203 here.

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Sorry you're not feeling well rn. Hope you feel good soon.

Hello again, I hope you feel better eventually. Personally, I hate complete silence when I'm trying to sleep. I'll put my earphones on and listen to some relaxing music or other stuff on YouTube. Or maybe try some warm tea or cup of cocoa and a turkey sandwich, but I don't want that to make you sick if you already have an upset stomach. Perhaps some Vernors ginger ale to settle your stomach??? Take care.💖

Thank you- still throwing up but taking small sips of Gatorade.

Music is a good idea

I don't like the silence of the night either, I usually find an audio book on YouTube and that relaxes me, soothing instrumental music helps too x

My anxiety has been bad the past week and now I’m not sleeping at all I managed work today but struggled tonight I feel the same as you nauseous and really frightened here on my own not knowing which way to turn I’m dreading tonight and think I won’t be able sleep again so I do sympathise with what you’re going through

I’m sorry your also experiencing it.

My therapist had me watch this video :

Quite relatable to your impending fear of not sleeping again tonight.

The more anxious I get, the more anxiety I get about it. It’s so hard not to. I sympathize.

Hope you get some rest tonight
