No sleep again ☹️

[Laniben]

Took a mild sleeping pill and it hadn’t worked. Still awake at give 3am. Got a kind of tingly feeling in the chest after having a very bad day yesterday that’s what’s keeping me awake. anyone else had this please?

Sorry you didn’t have a good day. Yes I have had tingly feeling in my chest before. It is anxiety. Try doing some grounding techniques to get your mind to relax so the sleeping pill can work. Hope you can sleep good.

Thank you for replying, I didn’t sleep at all in The end , now I have stomach pain. The sleeping pill didn’t work at all, feel heat under the skin and had a couple of those body jolts. Now it’s scaring me. I have the doctors this morning my daughters takes me as I can’t go on my own, but I feel so awful 😢

Never fun to feel those things!! Have you tried breathing exercises/apps? Sometimes they really help me!!!

How do you do the grounding technique please?

Hi,

Sorry you're having such a bad time.

After have suffered with all this for quite a while, I have been amazed at how much the body can throw at you. All its tricks and turns... You feel OK after a while about one symptom and start to calm down a bit, and then wham something completely different out of the blue comes along to frighten you and make you panic... and yes panic is what we do. Our bodies become over sensitised to any small feeling, and our panic let's it get out of control.

I can say all this as though I am over it all, I'm not, but I am learning the tricks of its trade.

You will be OK, ask the doctor for something to calm you down, to give you a head start.

Thinking of you ❤️ xx
