yes, I did a long workout yesterday and have been trying the thoughts approaches but it’s so hard to implement when you wake up and it’s total darkness and you just stay awake the workout helps me go to sleep but not stay asleep

I’m really upset. Yesterday I woke up super early but was able to calm down and fall back asleep. I felt so much more optimistic and well rested and thought things would be ok. Then last night I woke up early and was totally panicked and couldn’t sleep at all and now I feel so pessimistic and that this will never go away. I have been trying so hard and nothing is working. I just feel so tired all day and it’s so hard.

thank you! I will try all of this. I have barely slept in 2 days and I’m just exhausted and upset and scared I will never overcome this. It’s so hard to not be scared of not sleeping when you’re so tired and want to feel well rested so badly! I struggle with how to just “not care if you sleep” when I feel so awful during the day.

Thanks Mel. Last night I woke up at 5 after being asleep for only 4 hours. I got out of bed and read on the couch, tried visualizations, told myself that it’s OK and to let sleep come to me, but I STILL couldn’t get my anxiety to calm down. Anyone have any advice? I know logically what I need to do but I can’t get my brain to get on board
