Hey Scott,
Really appreciate your input and support.Yes, I’m very familiar with making friends with my thoughts, which are illusions anyway.
A problem I have is that in the middle of the night when I purposely choose to not engage with these thoughts (I say to them “you’re not serving me this moment”), where am I turning back to? Laying in the dark attempting to sleep?
In the daytime, there are numerous real activities to turn back towards. Those thoughts are so much more easily dismissible.I agree with you, but would love to hear what would make it easier.
Thanks again.
As of last week I went to sleep at eleven and slept for about 5-6 hours, with occasional sleepless nights sprinkled in. I always had slight anxiety about possibly not sleeping because whenever I would have a sleepless night, it threw me for a loop, meaning, I was very disturbed about it until I would have a good night. So I’ve always lived with sleep anxiety but not til this week am I not able to recover. This week, I’ve had 3 sleepless nights, and the reason they were not completely sleepless was because I resorted to medication.
What’s causing my anxiety? Fear of not sleeping. And knowing I cant control it as I do with diet, exercise, and many other things in my life.
