needsleep

Haha... my boy was not ready for bed! He was ready to play! How can you say no to this face even at 1 am?

When my mother passed in 2014, I couldn't sleep or eat for roughly the first 9 months afterwards. I was literally going through the motions, and I was kind of haphazardly surviving. My work life was suffering, and my husband was doing everything he could to keep me from completely neglecting myself.

On night, on a whim, I searched YouTube for a sleep aid. I don't like taking any more pills than absolutely necessary, so I figured audio would be a safe option. That's when I came across Dr. Siddharth Ashvin Shah. I did a little research, and it turns out that his work was made for people who deal with trauma (primarily first-responders etc.). I gave it a try, and holy crap, I was actually able to sleep. It basically helps you wind down by helping you focus on minimizing the world around you. Overstimulation and hypersensitivity are two problems I have when I'm anxious. The guided breathing exercises helped me a lot.

If you have a Spotify account or another streaming service, I recommend giving it a try. I still have to use it from time to time (on bad flare days or when I've had high stressload days--like back in August when my gran died), but ithas helped tremendously.

I really hope this helps some of you. Not being able to get any sleep (especially quality sleep) only exacerbates our conditions. Take care of yourselves

HI🙋it's been a rough 3 days (fibro flare) & tomorrow I must get up early. Didnt sleep last night cuz of the #Pain but drifted of about 45 mins this afternoon. Really need to get some sleep tonight , but still having that #Anxiety hanging on making it hard to even DECIDE to try to sleep. But I know I will get thru tomorrow~ come what may. Whether I am able to keep my appointment??? - I hope so. 🙏 I'll get thru nonetheless. 🎼"Que' serra' serra'..... whatever will be will be. The future is ours to see. Que' serra' serra'"🎶🎵🎼🎵🎶

Only got 1 & 1/2 hrs sleep - lack of sleep makes #Fibromyalgia #Pain horrendous. I'll need to take some Trazadone with Vistoril & get more sleep or else the whole day will only get worse for wear. I'm like "😦😩😧😖😩😵" .....can't do it ....not today. Back to bed for me. To🛌 need😴

in Amsterdam.
If you know where to look even a city like Amsterdam has myriad little hide aways.
Today was very hard to go outside. Even for 15 minutes. But I did it 💪🏽.
