I'm having trouble with sleeping. Again im waking up at 2am feeling nauseus and panicy. I'm so sleepy in day but can't fall asleep at night

I hate that it's back. And in day im litterary battling to not fall asleep. In night i can't. Im thinking whether it's because of my place and whether to go home after Christmas with mom but home drive me insane as well. So stressed from holidays and exams in the same time. And broke. And trying to buy everyone presents. And feeling really bad cause dad sent me money to live and i feel guilty and i feel bad because i need more from different source of course. I can't change my meds more. I already annoyed my docs with my never-ending anxiety. Maybe i can't calm. I worry about my problematic family, holidays, whether to go home after Christmas, what i will work, my health, exams, my living situation, my money situation... My heart is racing

Hey bud,

Exam time in school is tough, most of my asthma attacks in college were just anxiety attacks during exam time. It's a tough time no doubt, but be honest with your family about the gifts. I told my family straight up this year times are tough and your getting some candy and some art I made. Most family will just be extremely happy to see you pal. Stay strong you got this mate.

Thank you so much. I needed this compassion. I'm really stressed. You understand

100% with you brother. We all have those overwhelming moments, they will pass.

It's a bit cliche and passe' but tough times don't last tough people do.

Maybe try the Calm app. I use the sleep stories to help me fall back to sleep if I wake up in the night and start thinking too much. Also the meditations are good to help you relax and fall asleep initially.

Thanks for the advice. Tbh I can't fall asleep without a meditation from any source YouTube, innerhour....

I'm so sorry - sleep deprivation sucks. I hope you get some rest soon.
