Hey, so today I've been walking for at least 5 miles in the countryside, get home(exhausted) have a bath, get in bed and I'm wide awake but so tired. My anxiety is flaring up, scared something will happen if i dont sleep tonight. Will someone help? And don't suggest meds please. Im terrified if i dont sleep I'll cause damage. Thanks
What really helps me is listening to meditations on you tube for sleep.
my whole body and mind relaxes and I often fall asleep before the meditation is over.
just search for Guided Meditations for sleep, use earbuds and lay down to listen. Many to choose from. Also they have them for anxiety, depression,etc
They help you get rid of racing thoughts.
I think they could really help you! 😁
I was about to give the same advise. Youtube mediation. I did not believe in it at first but I was deseperate. Well I was very surprise, I also feel asleep in the middle of the meditation, it was soooo relaxing and the best falling alseep feeling.
Yes, I was also desperate but now I listen to them every night. They have meditations on everything! A great find! Last night I fell asleep to the one where you imagine you're on a train and the sounds of the track just lulled me to sleep. 😌
I think with my anxiety and being so tired from the walking, all I was thinking was "Oh my God, I've been walking today and if I don't sleep something bad will happen" lol. Sounds so silly, I eventually fell asleep at 4am, woke at 7am and back to sleep til 12pm :O oops. I sprinkled some Lavender on my pillow and that eventually lulled me to sleep. Thanks for the advice though guys. Much appreciated. I let my anxiety take over
im in the same boat at the moment i can only sleep an hour to two at a time if i'm lucky i always think about sleep and what's going to happen to me if i don't get any i even cried 5 mins ago it's horrible i'm so tired and now my memory is horrible i hope we are able to get some sleep soon
