Can't sleep at all

Mental health

Hello,

So this last few weeks I have been under a lot of stress and my anxiety has been through the roof again.

I have quite bad neck pain, shoulder pain and chest pain through the tension of just trying to get through the day.

The thing is, my body is so stressed that I just can't sleep. As soon as I lay down, I can just feel myself shaking internally and it's horrible. Nothing is calming me down at all and the pain is getting to me. The usual sleep aids and relaxing music / meditation etc isn't working to great.

Any ideas on what to do? So exhausted.

There is a pressure point on the inside of your arm. Three finger widths from the wrist in the centre. If you press and rub for 2 mins in a circular motion it calms the body and stress. You can use it on both arms

Thank you. I will try that

Are you currently on any meds ?

None at all.

Been trying to manage my anxiety without meds but it's been very difficult lately to say the least.

I have a doctor's appointment Tuesday so might have to ask for something to help sleep. Is there any suggestions?

I'm currently on celexa 40mg and it seems like its been improving on my anxiety disorder and for sleep I'm on mirtazipine 15mg for sleep at nighttime and it does knock me out . you should suggest it to your doctor on your next appointment.

Yes do. Let me know if you find it effective
