Sleep deprived and anxiety

Hi all, haven’t been here for a while basically because I’ve been sleeping great and no anxiety, then last night it came back!!! I’m trying to work out what has triggered it off, I’ve got a heavy head cold and my breathing is not good & I’ve got a temperature, this looks like the problem. BUT!!!! For those of you that suffer from anxiety know only too well it’s not that simple

It’s early morning now and my thoughts are already thinking about bed tonight, I actually thought I could control these feelings but like I said I’ve been sleeping and feeling great for months so I had forgotten all about it.

Let’s hope this is down to the cold, think a relaxing day is in order listening to the bloody wind outside,

Wish me luck

The first think I look for are medication interactions and side effects of any new drug started. People react differently to the same medications. The 1500mg CBD oil works for me. You could also need a little melatonin. Buy quality product at 3 mg level to start. The quick dissolve (inexpensive brand) seems to have varying effects. Melatonin works if you are lacking enough and does nothing if your body has a good supply. Also, we are in the seasonal effective disorder time of the year with lack of sunshine. This can wreck our mental processes, keeping our minds awake at night.

Not what you're looking for?
