So tired

[AnxietyBarbie]

I've been feeling so sleep deprived lately and now that I can fall asleep in peace, I can't, and it's frustrating me. I've been feeling anxious to the point where nothing feels real. I've been dealing with anxiety for a while and some days are harder than others, like tonight I feel horrible. Anyone else have trouble sleeping due to anxiety? What helps calm you down?

Yes I do, like tonight. I try and listen to mediation relaxation videos in you tube or do the old deep breathing and counting in and out. I know some daycare great and others not so much, I am up now and I have to work tomorrow morning, but I can’t sleep. God luck

Hi Barbie, I suffer from a lack of sleep, too! I've been suffering with anxiety on and off for about 40 years. I've tried medications but they make me feel worse. Sometimes I feel fine all day and then when I lie down in my bed to go to sleep I start feeling really weird symptoms that I can't describe. I sometimes lie awake for several hours before I doze off. I don't know the solution, but I do feel for you and want you to know that you're not alone in this! I've read on this forum that acupuncture can sometimes provide relief from anxiety. I don't have the money to try it right now, but it is a hope for my future. Hang in there, and keep putting 1 foot in front of the other. We can get through this together!
