Racing thoughts are the worst. They really get intense for me in the AM, right after waking up. If I don't snap out of it, I can spend hours in bed starring into space. I lose time this way too.

Guided meditation for racing thoughts. There are some on YouTube.

Practicing mindfulness can help a lot here. I prefer doing a guided version to help me out

The last several weeks I’ve listened to guided meditations almost all night long. That or the music on the calm app. I’ll fall asleep for a bit and then wake back up and I just put another meditation back on. I also took Xanax at 2:45 am last night because it was ridiculous

Being on prescribed anxiety meds (SSRI) is the only thing that ever helped me.

I wasn’t prescribed them for the sleeping difficulties, but I found that once I took the meds, my sleeping issues went away

Can anyone help?
Does anyone know any tips on how to accept the uncertainty of being unable to sleep? I get to so scared that if I don’t sleep, something bad will happen to me. Or I’ll end up in like the hospital or I’ll go crazy. It’s really scary and it bothers me so much. If anyone has advice I’d love to hear it!!

Help!
My brain will not stop with the intrusive thoughts. I keep going through my little mantra in my head how I won't do the things I am thinking and how I hate my thoughts. I am trying to watch YouTube and tell myself just to avoid it and not let the thoughts bother me. I know my thoughts are false because I hate thinking these things but I just feel like I am losing this battle. Any tips?
