In need of reassurance about insomnia
Posted , 10 users are following.
Feeling anxious and worried about lack of sleep on my health and that it will kill me. I've had this problem about 10 years ago somehow got rid of it then it come back again for about 12 months then the last 9 days I've really struggled!I keep fixating that every cold I have appendicitis I had 5 years ago is all caused by lack of sleep. Now I'm waiting for something else to go wrong which is keeping me up so it's like a vicious cycle. It doesn't help that since I was a little girl I have always had health anxiety so this is where the problems stem from plus I'm naturally a worrier anyway but the sleep thing is the one that consumes me. Please just need reassurance xx

I get this. Its actually preparing oneself for sleep then actually calming the mind down which is kind of difficult when we let the mind go it can drift off into lots of things. I find having a basic sleep strategy (I feel tired keep it simple by brushing showering then off to the bedroom) and some basic long meditations meta bavna or breathing very helpful. I overthink and by helping others who do the same thing it naturally helps to strengthen my own soothing voice; I encourage you to share a positive message with others and it may help with a 'strong' soothing voice in your mind before sleep. Hope this helps 😃
