Still finding ways to relax

Hi

I’m venting yet again lol. I’ve been great , mostly . I still have issues where I’ll reflect on one little thing and it’ll make some anxious for a while. For instance, I do deal with sinus issues but I don’t have an infection. What I do deal with is post nasal drip and have my humidifier.

The thing I reflect on is this: as I try to take a nap , I spring up , feeling frantic. My nose often gets stuffy and i do grind my teeth still, but not as often as before. In this moment , my sinuses alone were an issue and my nose is stuffy. I try to take a nap , my jaws are relaxed then my nose clears up and that sensation has me freaked out , that I spring up and I’ll get that scared feeling . I calm myself down, and try to nap yet again and it’ll become annoying to where I wind up , staying up until I’m so sleepy that I finally get sleep .

That “sensation” is simply my sinuses cleaning up . I mean, who wants a stuffy nose :/ so why am I so jumpy over that sensation in my nose that I won’t relax ?

I find that I am wanting to speak to a therapist again , more and more.
