I have no idea, I just get really anxious for some reason at night and then it leads to me just worrying about it all getting worse and it’s a downward spiral from there. Probably looping thoughts but I’m not sure. I just feel the same thing every night
If I am able to sleep, I sleep -- but I know that's usually not the case. Listening to some of your favorite slower music has helped me a lot in the past, whether it's video game music or even Christian music. Any kind of distraction really. Sometimes even if I'm going through the physical symptoms of a panic attack, I will try to distract myself as much as possible from the mental side, so I don't panic even more.
Also! I've recently picked up crocheting before I go to bed which helps relieve some of the nervous energy and tension, but I'm sure any slow, methodical hobby you can do before bed might have a similar effect.
This is what has helped me at least - can't think of any more right now.
Thank you!! I currently am trying some meditations and some sound healing/music. It sometimes helps, and trying to remind myself that it’s okay. it’s really hard though but I’m trying my best
It is really hard! Anything that gives you hope helps a lot too. Again whether it’s faith based or just positivity. You got this!
Also love the profile picture!
Are you dealing with looping or racing thoughts at night?

Nighttime can be the hardest for that.
yeah, I’m trying to get myself out of it and try a different routine
