My biggest challenge is to fall asleep. I seem to be calm since I am doing CBTi..but still my brain loves to play with me. I am so exhausted.

Hello

That’s quite normal. As time goes on, your sleep should improve (please keep to a consistent bedtime routine) and everything should settle down. Just try to be a bit patient and it’s okay to have a bad night or two. It’s okay to feel uncomfortable and uneasy about poor sleep or waking up during the night. The important thing is not to struggle excessively and truly accepting things that happen with a cheerful and optimistic mind. Good luck.

If your brain is playing with you, perhaps you can play back, too? Turn all those thoughts and feelings it might be generating into colorful words, shapes, patterns — even cartoons? Perhaps give them different voices, silly names, etc. This way, you’re acknowledging them but they might be a bit less likely to overpower you!
