My journey
Today has been a really rough day, finally submitted my first thread on here and ended up having a full blown anxiety attack at the thought of what I had just done, even now after many hours I still have a tightness in my chest and pain in my shoulder.
Im really scared as I am about to face demons which have been locked away for a long time and I know it
@crimsonLime6525 Everything is going to okay, even in the darkness days, you're gonna be okay. I usually repeat this quote in my head, "Don't get lost in this world." It seems to help me more and more. :)
@crimsonLime6525 I know just how you feel, opening this up can be difficult. I'm new to all of this and it's not easy, but I know it's for the best for us all. Don't loose hope. Keep breathing and things will turn out ok.
Another long sleepless night, what will today bring????? Judging from the pains in my chest more of the same as yesterday. I

That's ok. Long sleepless nights full of anxiety are times to do all that needed deep thinking. Do you journal? Youre tryiing to tell yourself something... and sometimes its hard to listen to ourselves in the moment.
Maybe try getting up for early morning walks (That's how I do it) you'd be surprised how easy it is to sleep after a long walk at 4 or 5am.
Also, my advice would be to try drinking lots of water and healthy foods. Take a nice hot shower in the middle of the night. Treat yourself with kindness and self love.
You're ok, embrace this opportunity. Today is the day you overcome a sleepless night by simply letting it be what it is. Let the sum come up, be greatful, and life will be lived.

Its 3.10am and Im still wide awake, got to be up for work in an hour and a half so think its another night without sleep. I wish there was a way to turn my mind off for even just a short while to sleep as I am soooooooo tired, just feel totally drained, physically and emotionally. Maybe I should just try to stuff everything back in its box and screw the lid on so tight, dont know if I can do this
There are so many thoughts running around in my head right now and so much hurting in my heart, I know I need to talk to someone but really don

What are your thoughts that are bothering you? I'm really sorry to hear your struggle, I have similar nights.
...not sure what to say, but I can listen.
I don't know what you're going through, but you don't always have to give - it's okay to just be. It sounds like for now just being is a good goal. Whether you have to be that way for an hour or three days, or longer, hang in there. You'll come through this.
