Anxiety

[brightenup]

I tend to overthink anything that comes my way.......I usually try and ignore them forgetting that the day ends...they come back and lash me down...I can't think straight nowadays,I don't sleep that much....it's literally 3:42am in the morning and still no sleep☠️I'm scared for myself,I don't eat that much,I'm never happy these days,and if I am just for a couple of minutes then it's all over......

Hi brightenup! I’m sure you already know this but sleep is so important to help the mind and body relax and not doing it can actually make anxiety and depression 1000x worse I’d try taking a nice hot bath before bed and watch tv in a cold dark room while reading a book! There’s also this tip that helps an overthinking mind at night just to ease you into sleep. Think of a word with no emotion like “walk” then take the first letter of the word “w” and think of five no emotion words that start with a “w” example: walk W: whale, wish, world, watch, water. Then you move onto the next letter and eventually you should fall asleep! I have sleeping issues and I’ve never gotten passed 7 words!
