Being attacked by some negative ideas

Glad you found your calling with the “little books”. I’ve been so desperate for sleep, I didn’t focus on why I wasn’t sleeping. Before Covid slept well 7-8 hours. Last night I fell asleep ((about two hours)but woke up and couldn’t get back to sleep. Then anxiety kicked in and I had to take a hypnotic. My issue is not fibro ( sorry to hear you have it) I just don’t sleep or if by the rarest chance I do it is short lived. I’m very desperate, tired and feeling I’ll never get better. I don’t want to be a “Debbie downer” so I’ll stop going on and on. Thanks for reaching out, I appreciate your effort and time.

Thank you all for sharing. This has been an epic time in history I think for everyone and now we are hearing words like "nuclear" which only add more anxiety and fear, and our news is full of the horrors of the Ukraine situation. How to channel and absorb all of this has proved to be a real challenge. Getting involved more with family, church, projects within your community or just doing something from home that helps in someway hopefully helps some, but for others trying to get professional help is important but has proved to be difficult. I reached out to some online counseling, and it was helpful but did alot of research before chooseing one. I am doing meditation and deep breathing exercises and started a Tai Chi class. We're all wired differently - I've turned off the news and just read some of what is happening as having 24-7 coverage of COVID/ Ukraine / and all the other "bad" news doesn't enhance quality of life for anyone.
Thanks again for sharing - just knowing you're not the only person impacted helps.
