Yes.

Nighttime is the hardest. The thoughts go round and round.
But doing just about anything else has got to be better.
Here's a few anythings I've tried:

  • Instant Messaging fellow insomniacs or someone on the other side of the world.
  • Watching a video.
  • Mothering myself: get all wrapped up in a blanket and drink hot cocoa or hot milk or tea.
  • Reading a book.
  • Writing down all the thoughts I'm having.
  • Making a to-do list for everything I'm worried about.
  • As needed, calling a crisis line - maybe a few lines, if the first one sounds hurried or like they don't get it.

I wish you well.
