Anybody awake? I’m a bundle of anxiety

[ZeldaSmelda]

Not for any particular reason, having a few issues with DP but nothing major. Luckily I haven’t got work tomorrow so can sleep in but I’m currently wide awake on the settee watching TV, I can just feel a knot in my stomach!

Anyone else in the land of can’t sleep?

I'm awake. I'm not sure how much help I can be- but hello!

I’m awake. Work aggro. Other people letting me down, my laptop’s just blown up and I have a ton of stuff to do but am supposed to be off with my kids tomorrow. Gah!!!!!

Here’s my trick for falling asleep. I walk myself through every step of my favourite holiday. From getting in the taxi, check-in at the airport, the flight, arriving at the hotel and by the time I reach my sunbed I’m usually asleep. Or I plan how I’m going to announce my lottery win and how I’m going to split it.

Get out of bed and do something. Clean the kitchen, sweep the floors, so laundry, anything active. You need to burn off the cortisol in your system because you'll never get to sleep if you don't.

Hello!! I’m going to have a cup of peppermint tea and watch some more trashy telly!

Sorry to hear about your laptop @ImNotChangingMyUsernameAgain, such a pain in the arse.

@TheShining thank you, I’ve just booked a holiday and the tv is distracting me so the anxiety is slowly ebbing away.

Thank you for the tips! I feel like I have loads of adrenaline coursing through my veins, I’m downstairs and have been browsing holidays. I think that’s contributed to me anxiety, I’ve been looking holidays and saw a really good deal then it disappeared and I could kick myself for not booking it. Minor issues witH DP that most people would probably shrug off but this silly anxiety of mine amplifies everything x 1000!
