Night time anxiety

Hello, I'm new to the mighty. I have most of my anxiety at night time. Maybe it's the thought of my day being over, and the thought of what might tomorrow bring. It's stress I have going on in life. Overthinking. Shoulda coulda wouldas. Then I become sleepless for hours, and end up falling asleep around 2 am, only to have a hard time waking up for work on time, and am exhausted. And repeat the next day. And the next. #Anxiety #Nighttime #Insomnia #sleepless #MindDoesntStop

How do I run from my own mind?

"Be positive." "Stop the negative self-talk." If only it is that easy to silence the deafening thoughts in the mind.
The mind screams in the dead of the night, making sleep a distant wish. Haha.
Maybe banging the head will work. Pain is always the most felt and overrides most sensations. Like this cycle of pain. My med is not working. #Depression #sleepless

Manic or something else.

Recently I have started having times when I am up 24 hrs a day for 4-5 days at a time. I don't want to do any of the things normally associated with a manic episode. I just don't sleep and I also don't eat. I'm wondering if I'm the only one that experiences this. I have lots of energy but can't focus it on anything.

YET AGAIN……. Another #sleepless night! #Insomnia

I know #Insomnia & other #SleepDisorders are no party, but no one ever tells you how dark and lonely these long nights can be! Its so quiet. And particularly if you have #Anxiety or other #r #MentalHealth issues, silence can be our worst enemy. Love to all who have to battle hard all night, just to try and sleep. Xx

Why I'm afraid to show up #Anxiety

I'm afraid to show up for things that really matters, dark is my desire and bright is my enemy, i love to mingle but I can't show up, i love to hangout but I can't show up, i love to date but I can't show up, i hate to tell but im afraid of everything, I can't do things that, i really want to do, something inside crying and shouting, but I can't escape this, i closed all my doors on my own faith, I'm loosing it all and I'm closing my eyes...

Weirdness

Tonight's been wierd. I went to bed at 930 like usual with my husband. I had shaved my legs an hour earlier, which are now suddenly so ITCHY!!! I put on some cortisone cream. Ok I'm good, for about 5 minutes. It's back. I haven't changed anything that I do, this is not a skin issue or allergic reaction. It just happens like this sometimes. I finally get up and go to the couch because I'm keeping him awake. The itching stops. About 1am I finally start to get sleepy and think about going back to bed. The itching is back! So I decide to stay on the couch. It goes away again. Any ideas???? #sleepless #Insomnia #MajorDepressiveDisorder

Wake up! Not just can't sleep 😒😱😭😪

Dealing day to day be used of sleep dreived or not sleeping very well. Maps become ypur best friend . though you wish you could do not tjings then just sleep like walk to the creek or go for a outing with ypur niebor but your just too tired too do anything. Theres a loud voice in your head that tells you in a loud almost yelling kind of voice to wake up!!!
Trying so many things to stay alseep. To sleeping black screen music from YouTube to staying closer to a good sleeping scedual on the days you don't work. Sleep is a very important thing. Studies have shown if you don't get a lot of enough sleep and start drinking too much coffee ypur body will become slow and ypur mind can't think at full speed unless you have a lot of caffeine.
What are some ways you have tried to stay away from waking up a bunch of times in the middle of the night ?
Me: I stop drinking a lot of caffeine. Take my sleeping meds a little bit early.i have even bought sleepy tea. And take Melton when I need too but not every day
