Restless leg syndrome?
Progressive muscle relaxation helps me sometimes. There’s explanations if you Google it1-basically you tense your muscles like crazy to tire them out a bit and then you let go and relax them, and it can help with the jitters.
I like visualizations too, like meditations where you picture your body being filled up with cold water and getting heavy
At times, my intrusive thoughts get so intense that all I can do is lay frozen in my bed and hope I fall asleep, and usually I do even if I'm not tired. My brain just wears me out and I wanna escape through sleep. (Sadly it doesn't work all the time)
I have the thought of what if I lose control and do something out of my control like scream for no reason or yelling in a store or just blurting stuff out that’s not in my control and it causes so much anxiety and causes me to feel weird. I always think I’m on the edge of losing control of myself and it’s exhausting living like this. Any tips?
I’ve noticed this new obsession with having to pee right before bed, like even if I have to pee a little I can’t fall asleep until my bladder is completely empty. Anyone else have a problem like this or knows how to cope?
