Lately I’ve noticed that right around the end of my day when I’m getting ready to go to sleep my intrusive thoughts and fight or flight mode kicks in. I’ve always had trouble sleeping. It always shifts back and forth between insomnia and depression sleeping too much. But lately I’ve been struggling to wine down and relax and fall asleep. It’s like I need to have several intrusive thoughts and maybe a panic or anxiety attack before I can grasp myself back to reality enough to fall asleep. My husband has noticed it too, which is what’s leading me to asking on here if anyone else suffers from the same thing or something similar? Just curious to know what others do to combat it. My therapist has recommended lavender essential oils, meditation, drinking chamomile tea, etc. I’d still like to know what others in this group think. at times like this I’m always grateful for subreddits like these to help me know I’m not alone with this mental illness.
