The thing about anxiety is, you body says SLEEP and your mind just won’t let it happen.

me too i turned to booze then sleeping pills then full blown anxiety meds - nothing really worked though. @GlassDog

@DoubleRings Sleeping pills and SSRIs made things worse for me. Alcohol works but I know it's not a solution. Actually, now I think of it, very heavy exercise works too. I sometimes wonder if anxiety is a symptom of our modern, sedentary lifestyles.

@DoubleRings Yeah - the body build up a tolerance.

God - i should'nt say this, bit the secret is to cycle between different farms of sedative.
No more than 3 days on any one, and always try to alseep naturally first.
Use meds say if you've made it to midnight - No sleep Then resort to one.

They are way to easy to rely upon, then you build tolerance, then in two in years You're downing them.like lollies - and they still dont work.

@GlassDog we actuayNEED a degree ofstress in our lives
We are genetically wired that way.
Not enough - amd things like depression, and anxiety can kick in
Too much...and oddly enough, the same thing can happen.

And YES!!!

Heavy exercise a few Hours before is..
...an AWESOME way to get sleep.

Whether one can get off once ass to do it - that's am entirely different problem😁

@DoubleRings in honesty when I've gone about 5 days,with minimal sleep, i'll have 2 black Russians.
Works wonders.

Bit it's a case of balance.

I only alow myself two nights of a chemical indulgence before going back to other methods

But then, 2 nights does wonders.
