Few days before i was completely depressed not able to do anything, even i fell ill, i was sleeping almost whole day. Now 3 days before, i finally think to fight to make it up. tried everything like music exercise, motivation everything. I feel still feel sleepy but whenever i sleep, i just lay downward my mind is racing but my body doesn't support it. I dont know neither too depressed nor elevated and never normal. I haven't take any meds since last 6 months. And don't want to rely on them again. What shall i do i am completely frustrated. Sorry for my bad English

Why are you reluctant to use medication? What is your diagnosis, and what medication have you tried in the past? Are you seeing any doctors right now?

One thing you might consider: Aromatherapy: lavender and chamomile soothe me. I like drinking some chamomile tea before I sleep, or when I have racing thoughts.

Understanding your precise situation will help us give more targeted feedback.

I take the supplement Melatonin to help me sleep. It's works for me and is not a drug or habit forming. Give it a try

I have the same problem with sleep.
My mind may not be racing, yet it is still churning and some sharp thought may jab through, causing me to sit bolt upright in the bed, alarmed and distressed.
These are thoughts of my facts and realities of life, past and present. Can't fix any of it.

In addition to exercise, listening to mellow music to aid in falling asleep might help distract the racing mind...
