Can’t sleep

I have trouble falling asleep and staying asleep
Right now feels extra hard with so much on my mind
Thinking about what can I do to heal my relationship
Help myself feel at ease
Thinking about my dad moving out
If I’ll be able to pay my rent on time
Should i cancel my sleep over
Sometimes I’m unsure if my partner hates me
I know that’s not true but it comes in and or if my brain
Will my mom ever try to make peace with my partner
I kind of just want to cry
Half way feeling a panic attack coming on
Kind of want to call my mom and cry
But I don’t want her to worry or think more negatively about my partner
Kind of want to hide in a cave for a few months
People of Toronto please vote
The house crisis is horrible and wish we got paid a livable wage
Life just feels like too much

#Anxiety #Cantsleep

I noticed every time I have something that I KNOW I have to be awake early for the next day, that’s not the usual, I can’t sleep. If I try to force myself to sleep I always wake up like I didn’t take a breath in and have to force myself to breathe, which then my heart is racing & im nauseous. Now my anxiety is high and I can’t go back to sleep. This also happens if I’m overly tired. I don’t get it. I just wanna sleep without waking up in panic and afraid to go back to sleep. Idk what’s even happening. And google scares me more 😭

I understand! The longer I’m awake, the more awake I become, and the more impossible to sleep it is. I get more and more passionate and productive at night… i love not being tired while
like this, though I guess I’d rather be able to go to sleep normally and wake up still ready to take on the world, with the same passion. But because once my insomnia leads me to something I’m passionate about, I begin to feel like sleep would only kill my productivity anyway … I usually will stay like this maybe napping an hour here or dozing once in awhile for about 3 weeks, when “ lucky” ; then I go to the total opposite end of the spectrum and can’t keep myself awake, if for no other reason, the depression that comes with having to try and find
Productivity again. A week or so I find it again while laying in the dark, eyes wide….and the process repeats.
I know this isn’t healthy but … I guess it kind of has a positive side?… and a down side :/
Is anyone else..

Fictional characters with Fibromyalgia?? #fibrowarrior #Fibromyalgia #ChronicPain #ChronicIllness #Selfcare #Books #Cantsleep #Reading

I would love to read a book that features a fictional character who has fibromyalgia. Please comment if you have read any good fictional books whose characters have fibromyalgia.

I would also love to see a recommendation for a motivational book for people with chronic pain/chronic illnesses. If it's a book specifically about fibromyalgia, please make sure that the author has fibromyalgia themselves before recommending. I know that that sounds nitpicky, but I have heard enough BS for a lifetime 😅

Long Sunday it will be..#Cantsleep #Sleep #self -hatred #GeneralizedAnxietyDisorder

Laying awake for over 7 hours to get some rest. Physical pain (weather changes ) racing thoughts of self-doubt , overthinking and tears. Reading is not helping. Had a great day with friends & family. Old dark thoughts of being a burden or annoying to everyone. Fighting the impulse to not do something I’ll regret later. Feeling like a kid when aniexty caused stomachaches. When it comes to self-image I am disgusted with myself. Overweight and looking rundown doesn’t. On the up side most my face is finally covered by a mask.
