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.
