There is! But the path to calm and peace is very different for everyone. Some need medication (I am one!), some need therapy (yes please), some need space, a hobby, meditation, exercise, a change in their life…. It is so varied.

My suggestion is if you have such bad anxiety/panic that it is causing you to lose sleep you may need medication to help calm your body down so it is not in a fight or flight mode constantly. It happened to me recently and I was exhausted but couldn’t stop my mind from worrying about everything.

Please post if you need to. We are here for you.

From experience, I would recommend two things. A large glass of gin and tonic or a doorstep sandwich of something you really like before turning in. All animals including humans feel sleepy after a meal. Or better still a large G&T and a sandwich!
