Can't go to sleep.

[TrippyMcGuire762]

So my anxiety won't let me go to sleep. I try to sleep and my brain is like, no you're gonna die. My heart starts racing, and therefore I am unable to fall asleep. I know it's highly unlikely I'll die, but I can't sleep because of it. I go in Friday to see my gp, but I can't get anything with my psych doc for a while. How do I sleep. I need rest or else things get worse.

Hi TrippyMcGuire, Of course you need rest. Our mind and body need that time where we can relax and regenerate our muscles and stamina. Your anxiety is working overtime in not allowing you to fall asleep. It will use any lie it can to get you to believe. Have you tried putting your mind in a more relaxed mode by listening to one of the amazing videos on YouTube? They have an excellent selection of long playing sleep videos which will put you into a deep relaxing sleep with no worries. I hope you give it a try.
