Fears keep me awake

Have you tried meditating where you are about to lay down and resting immediately after? @GmanRaven

Sometimes it helps to make your fears exaggerated and silly. For instance if you can't stop thinking about snakes, take it up a notch. What if a 300 foot boa constrictor crushes your whole trailer and drags it all the way into the Indian Ocean? Sometimes thinking of worries in a silly way can help you see them in a less serious light 😊

I couldn't sleep well because of fear of ghost at night. I feel insecure. Could anyone help me in this . Is any psychiatrist ter?

I can't seem to stop over thinking about everything before I sleep. I can't calm my mind, it's always working over time.

It gets so bad I usually end up crying myself to sleep every other night because I end up depressing myself. Then I end up having a nightmare, waking up from it and then I can't go back to sleep.

This results in me having a really exhausting day and I'm not motivated to do anything constructive. The nightmares won't freaking stop for the last 2 months.

I'm so tired. I refuse to take any sleeping pills because I'm too afraid that I won't be able to wake up from my horrible dreams.

I do pray before I sleep though..It helps calm me down a bit at least.

@MayBe4Me it sound like some kind of emotional disturbance is keeping you from sleeping. I normally meditate in the morning and try and clear stuff out. Meditating has been a good practice for me with facing emotions and thoughts plaguing me And releasing them.

The past couple nights I've been awake because of intense fear or paranoia I guess. I'm so scared for my safety even though I know I'm safe but it's so hard to do even anythin normal when I'm so scared. I can't really describe it I just get so scared And at night it's the worst. I feel like a kid but it's so bad I sometimes just stay up trembling and sobbing. Idk how to make myself feel safe and it gets worse because my dad goes to his girlfriends house a lot over night so there's no one here who I feel like could protect me. Ah it's so bad.

My fears of not sleeping are keeping me awake, the less sleep I get, the more I think to myself will I die if I don't sleep. I'm really scared about my health even though I went to the Doctor and she said there was nothing wrong. I just can't get it into my head. I don't know what to do anymore, I'm on holiday in Australia and I'm so miserable god I thought this holiday would make me feel better. I wish someone would just stroke my head and say everything going to be alright. I'm currently on day 2 of no sleep. Oh the joys
