Tonight is another night of anxiety. As the clock ticks closer to midnight, my chest flutters and I feel hollow inside. It's a sickening feeling as the attack on the mind occurs. For each thought that attacks like a an arrow being thrown my way, I put up a shield, and keep trying to fight my way through just to get to safety and sleep.
I hate feeling this way every night. It makes me #sick inside. It takes forever to fall asleep. It takes a lot of effort to shut down. It doesn't seem to matter that I have 3 dogs with me, and YouTube to distract my mind by keeping me grounded. It's still a battle! When will the battle ever end? Every night it happens!
My mind seems to go into heavy thought mode as it processes untreated emotions or untreated thoughts that may have occured during the day that I was not aware about. There are moments where I have the "What If" and then there always exists thoughts about Death and Dying and losing my parents, brother or other family members and pets to death. It freaks me out.
I need it to stop. Tonight I am going to put on my full power shield and #fight for a #peacefulmind .
#SeparationAnxiety Hi there here is some backround before I get into the thought I am a teen 15 years old and I live with my parents and have anxiety and depression and I think I'm starting to get night anxiety . When I was in a family vacation in Texas staying at my aunts house , I got annxious that something bad will happen to them in the middle of the night I slept on the downstairs couch . Or now even though I am at home I think they will leave while I'm sleeping or something will happen to them . it also panics me when the door is locked to there bedroom
Does anybody eles feel this way ?
I'm waking up every twenty minutes because of this intense wind storm. And when I wake up, my mind flips back and forth between every kind of coronavirus scenario and possible physical danger from this storm.
- What if the tutoring centre shuts down and I lose my job?
- What if the wind picks up and smashes Grandma's plant pots against my window?
- What if I am one of those asymptomatic carriers of coronavirus and am unknowingly infecting everyone around me?
- What if the next time a wind gust comes up and rattles the window panes, they shatter?
- What if everything shuts down tomorrow and I am stuck with very few vegetables/fruits because I chose not to go to the store after my shift today?
- What if the wind knocks over that huge tree and it comes through the window?
And on and on and on...
I try to strategize to find a way out of these problems, but I feel stuck and unable to see another possible reality. As I type these out, I can feel that the wind storm fears are unlikely to materialize, but less certain about the coronavirus fears. My abdomen is vibrating due to anxiety, but my mind marches on, annoyingly calm as it ticks through the fears.
I know I have not really posted on here in a while. I don’t like to share what’s on my mind that much. I am an introvert (I am usually quiet and keep to myself a lot) and don’t like to tell others what I am feeling.
I have just been feeling really sad and anxious these past few days. Not so much during the day because I have activities to keep my mind off my gloomy mood. But at night, it’s a different story. After I climb into bed, I pull my wheelchair (affectionately called “Karma”) right beside me and throw the duvet over both of us so that we stay warm.
When I have Karma by my side, I feel safe and secure (physically and emotionally).
I have never told anyone about this until now. I have just been trying to get through each day as best as I can. There are times when organising my busy schedule gets too much.
I use paratransit to get around because I cannot drive. You might be familiar with it. You have to book a week to two weeks in advance and the trips are not guaranteed. So I sometimes have to scramble to book a taxi at the last minute. Which I find really stressful because I have dyscalculia, which makes it difficult to plan ahead and calculate how long it would take the taxi to get to me. Whereas with Handydart, if you tell the dispatcher that you have to be somewhere at a certain time, they will calculate the time they have to leave to pick me up and get me to my appointment on time.
Sorry about the long post. I just felt like I had to get this off my mind. #nighttimeanxiety #Dyscalculia
I’m finding it really hard to sleep at the moment...have so much anxiety before going to bed...I sleep on and off during the night whilst my partner sleeps away like a baby as he always does. What’s wrong with me? Why does my anxiety kick in more during the night? Just feel like shit with all this anxiety...just wish this wasn’t me....wish I was normal with no mental health disorders... #nighttimeanxiety #Anxiety #Depression #Selfesteem
My first college semester is almost over,my Last SOC 101 class is tomorrow and my midterm is coming up ...and being a parent/mom/student....becomes overwhelming.... I've been in this joy state of mind...but Idk..if its mania or depression...just alot going on to focus...but I'll live...
Dose anybody dead to see night come but also find it to be a relief?
You dread it Bc you know you have to get up tomorrow to another miserable day. But a relief to Bc the current miserable day has come to a end?
I’m 18 now, and I can’t stop thinking about how this life went by so fast. I know I’ve got a lot to look ahead in, but for other people, that’s not the case. My dogs are now old and any day could be their day to cross the rainbow bridge. My parents are old too, and maybe when I found a life of my own, I know I’ll never see them as often. And of course, they’re going to die someday too, and then I’ll be all by myself.
It’s making me cry just thinking about it. I miss the times I spent with my parents when I was younger. We had so much fun then. But we grew, got older, and changed. Now I’m scared. I’m not ready for such a big responsibility yet. I’m not ready to grow up. I’m not ready to let go of everyone I love and care about. #Anxiety #nighttimeanxiety #Growingup #CheckInWithMe #CheerMeOn #Autophobia
