Thank you for your help! I’ve been noticing that the more present I am in the moment, the less the thoughts and feelings bother me. When I’m experiencing those feelings or thoughts, I acknowledge them and move on, or stay present with what is going on. It’s gets harder as the evening goes on, but I also am getting better at continuing to be present. I’m allowing myself to love myself. I’m a Christian, and a friend posted that if we are to love our neighbors as ourselves, shouldn’t we love ourselves like how we love our neighbors? I’m way more gracious to those around me, than I am to myself. So I’m giving myself space to be ok with everything not being perfect or ideal. I’m seeing my inner child and patting him on the back saying it’s ok bud, you got this. And Martin, your videos have been the biggest help and encouragement to me! I can’t thank you enough!

Yes! That’s helpful. It’s hard because it feels like I’m suppressing the feelings.I understand that it’s not. I’ve acknowledged the feelings, investigated why they are there, and know they aren’t helping me. It’s just hard to put into practice. I want so bad for the feeling to go away. Because I know when it goes I can sleep.

It hasn’t done much for me. Even the lower doses. I take it with trazodone. The only reason I don’t stop them now is because I don’t want to have rebound symptoms that make sleep harder. I’m really working on my thoughts towards sleep.

What does making space for anxiety look like? I struggle with this because I feel like I’m trying to do that. Maybe it’s the trying? But I feel like anything I do now is trying.
