I'm absolutely shattered, I haven't slept properly since he left 9 days ago. I'm awake until past 2am just remembering happy times or thinking about him, I wake up frequently during the night. I just can't switch off from my own mind.
Help!! I've tried reading, watching a film and just laying in the dark. My eyes are stinging but I just can't sleep 😥

Calm app? Don’t focus on sleep, remind yourself you just need rest… bbc iPlayer cbbc has really nice mindfulness video of raindrops .. and walk in woods.. I play that on a loop… and if anxiety doesn’t ease, Lexapro works a treat for me… go to GP.. it’s ok to miss him even if it wasn’t right, and I knowyou are doing the best you can right now.. and that’s good enough

@Knockmealdowns thank you, I will try that now and see how I get on. I just miss the comfort of having him here, next to me 😞
