I haven’t been able to sleep very well lately

As a combination of it getting hotter at night in my area, making it difficult for me to sleep comfortably, and my damn anxiety, which is keeping me up as it always does. You’d think I’d be sleeping better since my wife came home Sunday after being a gone a week, but some really distressing things have been coming up and they just get to me. Makes me tempted to drink again, just so I can pass out and sleep and that thinking just depresses me.

Would it be better to get a Rx sleep aid to help you? I’m so sorry I can sympathize because I have a really hard time with my anxiety (and chronic pain syndrome which is what really exacerbates my insomnia) and I don’t like using a sleep aid but I know that they can be very effective and helpful. I wish you the best and hope that you don’t feel like you have no other options but to use alcohol.

Babe it's the full 🌕 moon doesn't let anyone sleep properly...
Instead of drinking do a full moon ritual.
Write on a piece of paper something that you want to let go of . Then burn the paper and watch the little flames....

I recommend going on a very long walk, run, or do an intense workout followed by an ice bath for 5 minutes. It helps quiet the mind and relaxes you.

You may well need to get some outside help to get through all this. It's not a sign of weekness.
