Lonely feelings again

[RachieW]

So it’s that point of the night again when I can’t switch off, anxiety is high.. sleeping tabs aren’t knocking me out. Partners working away and none of my friends are up and I’m feeling isolated and lonely and driving myself insane with my own company arrrgh

Hi..when things are not going your way its time for you to engage yourself . Get into some kind of workouts or watch TV or read books or other ways to keep you busy ...If you are insane or empty brain ...unimaginable thoughts will bother you ..Good day

I run my own business making and selling crafts which keeps me occupied but I’m too exhausted and full of headaches to concentrate on anything. Feeling a little better today. Thanks for the reply

Hi Rachie,

Sorry to read that you’re feeling this way. I experience loneliness a lot these days and if like me you’re feeling anxious, it’s just so much harder to bear.

Sometimes my mind just won’t slow down at bedtime and I’m having a lot of broken nights sleep at the minute. Probably my age isn’t helping matters (I’m going through menopause and feel really hot and uncomfortable at night). To help my mind slow down, I use a guided meditation by The Honest Guys. It’s called the 1hour Gentle Rain talk down for insomnia. I usually fall fast asleep when using it! It’s really soothing.

You will find it on The Honest Guys YouTube channel.I’ve looked up a few of their meditations and they are so good- there’s lots of different ones you can choose from.

Hope you will be feeling a bit better soon. Take care X

Hi, sorry to hear you seem to be having almost exactly the same things as me.

I have tried the meditation actually I very often listen to the 10hr rain or storm sounds as I find these work best for me. I had actually forgot about doing it (my meds make me forgetful) thanks for reminding me I’m gonna try it again tonight
