Anxiety is exhausting but please know we are here.
Can you go to a real therapist or psychiatrist? My brother was a heroin addict. I have been with him through it all. He lived with me for a lot of it. He’s been clean now for 2 years and he still has a hard time sitting still. He’s so jittery. Try some relaxation techniques before bed. Go to bed at the same time each nice apx. without sound or light stimulation. Except a fan if you use one. I personally can’t sleep without it. I also had the exact same feeling and couldn’t sleep. Now I take meds to sleep. Have you ever tried medicine? Melatonin is a safe all natural supplement you can take. I don’t recommend meds without talking to your doctor if you are taking anything else. It sounds like you are experiencing anxiety mixed with withdrawals. My brother takes Suboxen for his withdrawals and it helps a lot. Idle minds breed anxiety and everything is worse at night. If you ever need to talk I’m here a lot! I worked in a detox unit at the hospital prior to switching to ICU and cardiac care. I have a little experience and a very compassionate heart! I hope you find some relief. You said you used to do coke and weed. I commend you for getting clean. I know how hard it can be to quit. Bless you and much love!
