Anxious and Sleepless Night

I've had a terrible sleep, waking every few hours thinking I've slept in! Now I'm awake and I feel so anxious for the day ahead, clenched jaw, heart racing, my hands are shaking and I can't calm my thoughts. There is nothing awful planned for today so I shouldn't be feeling like this!! Send help!!!

      @Splinteredmind thank you, I made it through the day, not as nervous today. I do think this app helps. Just writing down what's in my head. There's only so many times you can say to your friends. I do embroidery and cross stitch to clear my mind. X

      šŸ¤— sending warm hugs to you. I understand these feelings. 90% of my days I feel like that. No amount of meds helps. Talking and coloring are my two main coping skills I use. Glad you are talking here.

      Today I have my grandson in the morning and then getting my hair done, it's done at home so don't need to go out. My antidepressant is at the maximum dosage. I'm so tense my jaw and shoulders hurt

      When I'm struggling, which I normally am, I try to break my day down into bite sized pieces. So I'd say to myself deal with the kids then I can breathe. Obviously that's difficult when the next thing to do is the frightening event. But trying to not be overwhelmed by the whole day, just bits of the day.

      do you have pain meds to boost your antidepressants . I find this combination helpful for me but only micro dosing . not too much also you going through withdrawal can cause these symptoms

      What have you got planned for today? Once the kids have gone to school what is next?

        @PledgeofTray I'm still stuck on bed, I need to get the kids up for school but can't deal with them if they're in a mood!
