Can't Sleep

[Shield_Of_Faith]

I'm awake late right now and I can't sleep I tried listening to music or watch funny videos on youtube sometimes that usually works but I'm to to on edge right now. I'm just always scared of what the future could bring, my paranoia goes crazy with racing thoughts which yet freaking again leads to anxiety. Sorry just venting instead of just sitting hear getting lost in my thinking and anxiety....

I know that feeling. I listen to calming music on my meditation app. Eventually it does the trick

I hope you get to sleep soon

😴🐬

Thank you I hope I fall asleep soon.I've tried calming music in the past it works for me only sometimes. But I appreciate the response. 🙂👍

[Dolphin14 in reply to Shield_Of_Faith]

I fall asleep for a few hours then I just stay up for a few and try again.

The good thing about being here is someone is always awake. Time zone differences and then those of us that can't stop the brain

[Shield_Of_Faith in reply to Dolphin14]

That's true and reassuring but I wouldn't want someone to be awake and struggling to go to sleep. If they can sleep thats awesome. But I get what you mean. Thank you!👍

Sometimes we do need to vent to the world... it can help some. Getting the mind to shut off, or at least calm down, is so hard when anxiety is raging. Just know that you are not alone, and it's okay to struggle like you are. Give yourself Grace.

Hope you get some good rest.

[Shield_Of_Faith in reply to Perriex]

Thank you for that reply!I appreciate it. It's nice to be around people who understands and gets it.

I feel badly for you. I just started antidepressants so I am lucky to be sleepy but in general I will fall asleep then wake up at 2am and literally stew with thoughts. So exhausting. I wonder about those people who have never had anxiety ever in their life. I cant remember a time I didnt have it.
