The Couch

[anon99]

I’ve been sleeping on the couch for weeks now. I went to my bed for a few nights but ended back up on the couch. Something about my room triggers my anxiety... i wanna sleep in my comfy room and bed but I’m too afraid. The ac is perfect.. my bed is so soft with so many firm pillows. Just the atmosphere in my room is lovely. But i feel like I’ll die if I sleep in there or something will go wrong. 😭😭

I wish I had advice for you but I want to tell you that I’ve felt the same way about my room, so you aren’t alone in this! It’s so strange 😔

I honestly just wish I had somebody to sleep with me so I would feel safe. 🥺 I hate it.

Forcing my dog to sleep in my bed was actually the only thing that helped me feel safer

[anon99 in reply to Laurennnnnnn]

LOL! I do the exact same. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I don't sleep well in my bed either. It's been going on for a long time.

I tend to bounce from couch to couch overnight. Oddly enough I can take the best naps in my bed.

I always had my dog in my bed 🐾🐾

He was always by my side.

I wish I could nap. Im afraid of naps too. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I’ve slept on the couch for years now. I have a great bed, Ive associated my bed and bedroom with lack of sleep so I developed anxiety when I try to use the bed for sleep.... just reminds me how I don’t sleep well in my bed or at all, I end back on the couch.

I had to kick my cats and dogs out because they wake me moving around. I kicked my husband out cause he has sleep apnea and uses a CPAP. I’ve been sleeping alone (or not sleeping like tonight) for a very long time now sadly. 😂😥
