my mind
Why won't my mind ever let me have peace? It gives me brief periods of temporary calm but then comes back to smack me in the face. Currently under my weighted blanket and drinking chamomile tea. I mean, this would have to happen right when I wanted to go to bed, and you can only eat so many melatonin gummies.
I know what you mean, sometimes it’s like you can’t escape your own mind. I find listening to music that pumps you up helps me, also I try and eat nutritious foods and exercise when I can.
Nights are the worst for my anxiety as well. I have watched old comforting tv shows, I have listened to music , talked to friends, tried to keep busy.. but one can't escape their minds. Then I heard from a podcast called (practicing human) that we should welcome negative thoughts and feelings and not resist them.. just say to the anxiety "you are welcome here too" repeat it again and again.I found that once I acknowledged it.. it left on its own without too much trouble . Try it
