How do i make myself go to sleeep early??? and how do i calm down my anxiety ????

Answer

I have PTSD and anxiety. I have had anxiety for all of my life due to childhood trauma. About 2 years ago, I decided enough was enough. I wasn't sleeping, I was having up to 15 anxiety attacks a day, and my life was put on this eternal hold. I went to my doctor and asked what I could do. He suggested a low dose anxiety medicine which also had a side effect of being  tired, and seeing a psychologist. I started on the track of both and now back to the present. I still have slight difficulty with falling asleep but once I am, I get good sleep.

I have been an insomniac all my life. I have tried melatonin and over the counter sleeping pills only to find out that some of the ingredients will actually induce the anxiety. I tried a small cup of alcohol before sleeping; it worked for about a week and then once my body became use to the amount... it didn't work anymore and I didn't want to be drinking every night and having to up the quantity.

Between the therapist, doctor, and myself we have all come up with healthy ways of getting over the anxiety and having better sleep. I eat healthy, exercise daily, and always keep my appointments with them. My life has started to get better. It has taken time and a lot of conscious effort on my part, but the results have made me a better person. If you ever feel enough is enough, the first step is your doctor. You may end up being a blubbering mess asking yourself what you're doing (I was!) But with time and effort, it will get better.

Answer

Take deep breaths in and out. Squeeze something. Listen to rain sounds whilst sleeping. I'm praying that you'll feel better. You're not alone love.

Answer

I would go see a counselor or therapist. Professional diagnosis and treatments are always good to consider. I have CPTSD and Major depressive disorder, personally what helps me calm down during a panic attack is aroma therapy, whether it be candles or the MonQ pen, Medical marijuana (Where its legal), a clean vape, or also I got a psychiatric service animal to help me calm down during bad attacks and keep me company.

Answer

I was having the same problem. Finally I went to the Dr. I was diagnosed bipolar. If you feel so out of control with this see a Dr. or counselor. You will feel better.
