Sleep Issues
Anybody else have sleep issues? What helps you fall/stay asleep?
Anybody else have sleep issues? What helps you fall/stay asleep?
Sometimes my own study lectures make me fall asleep, calming music does help but not as much as the lectures, and also some hot milk can calm down. And keeping our eyes away from the phone can too
Yes I have sleep issues! Magnesium and B vitamins have helped me a lot, they work slow but they help. I struggle to fall asleep and stay asleep longer than 1-2 hrs. Sometimes having a podcast in the background helps to not focus on the intrusive thoughts.
ASMR or harry potter audiobooks! anything that keeps my mind off the fact i canāt sleep makes it easier to actually fall asleep
lately iāve been doing adult colouring books which actually really helps and distracts my brain and at the same time listening to sleep music like delta waves for sleep to calm my brain. Also if you havenāt tried already could try meditation and breath work. There is a good free app called insight timer for that and you can also get ones on youtube
So supplement wise: Iād recommend a magnesium glycinate tablet, and a sleep product from conteh sports called supreme sleep! Just be aware that I donāt think you can have supreme sleep and anti depressants
Same. Im going to try a magnesium supplement. I love adult coloring books.
Iām in an absolutely crippling episode dealing with real event/ false memory. I literally cannot get out of it and it is beyond hell. Can someone please help me with advice? If you have been through this how did you get through?! Iām out of work, the only relief is when Iām sleeping no exaggeration. My husband is being super supportive and Is also taking time off to be with me. Was there a specific medication or any tricks that helped? Iām beyond desperate. Thank you
Does anyone else struggle with OCD when it comes to breathing? I've had this for about two years now on and off and finally had enough and came on here to say this. When I try to explain this to other people, therapists, etc. they just don't get it, so maybe someone on here does. I literally cannot stop thinking about my breathing and when it is at its worst, the very act of breathing feels incredibly uncomfortable. It feels like the walls are closing in on me, I constantly feel like I'm having to catch my breath, and I constantly feel the urge to take a giant, "complete" breath and that is the only way I feel comfortable. It's usually manageable during the day, but at night when I try to go to sleep it's awful because when my brain has nothing else to focus on it reverts to the breathing. People tell me to just stop thinking about it but I literally cannot. Can anyone else relate or am I all alone on this one
My ocd gets so loud in the silence and right before bed when thereās no distractions. I always struggled with anxiety since my teens and guided meditation used to help⦠until OCD. First time trying guided meditation with OCD I had an intrusive thought of āwhat if you actually lose control and canāt follow these instructions?ā And got even more anxious š« š« š« had to stop, and havenāt tried to meditate ever since. Just curious to know. Sometimes I feel like I have the worst type of OCD. It will latch onto anything to make me anxious!
