      Hi! I’m new and not one to post but figured I’d go “all in.” One thing I really struggle with during insomnia bouts is this idea that if I think about it or talk about it too much it makes it real or will make it worse. Or if I have two bad sleep nights in a row that means sleep is going to be bad for a long time. Or if I get upset about it in the middle of the night and feel overwhelmed and sad that I’m losing the battle and insomnia will get worse. As I write it out I can clearly see this for what it is- magical thinking, illogical. Just putting it out there

        Thanks for going “all in” — and welcome to the forum 🙂

        You have the idea that thinking or talking about insomnia will make it real or worse — and your experience tells you that insomnia shows up and does what it wants whether or not you think about it or talk about it.

        What’s the opportunity here? 🤔
