Anxiety

I’m still not sleeping right. I’ve been getting to bed at midnight fairly regularly but when my alarm goes off at 10 am I shut it off and try to go back to sleep. I’m sleeping a lot but it doesn’t seem to be doing very much good. I simply don’t want to be awake. Life is usually pretty stressful but in the past few days I’ve felt an overwhelming sense of dread. I can’t help but think something is about to go terribly wrong. My anxiety is getting the better of me.

  1. Have you tried sleeping in a different room or with the tv on?

    1. We have a spare room and a spare mattress. But Ben likes to turn all the lights on in the morning. It’s taken me a year to convince him to leave the ones in my room off when I’m in bed.

      The TV is the opposite direction of what I want. Growing up my bedroom was very quiet and very dark. Now things never turn off completely. Little red lights to tell me my electronics are off (but only kinda). My alarm is on my phone instead of the brass analog clock I had as a teenager. My life is too loud and too bright most of the time.
