Therapy is too expensive currently, and I've had some bad experiences, so I'd rather hear from others.
One that I thought of was positive affirmations/visualization, but I'd really like to hear some others that help you feel more at peace, before going to bed. I am working now, and my anxiety gets in the way of getting adequate sleep. My mind races a lot. I don't know whether to just distract myself, or if there's something I should be doing hands-on to deal with the problem, rather than just brushing it off.
Thanks for listening. Any input is appreciated.

I like to make sure everything is switched off, and in it's place.
it helps me know that if something went wrong (like a fire), it wouldn't have started in my room- because everything in my room is as it should be, turned off and unplugged.
it also makes me feel confident because I know i'm taking charge of my own health/ safety
watching an episode (or 2) of peppa pig
I know it sounds crazy (and it can work with any cartoon series), but in sted of thinking about anxious things and your depression, you focus on what just happened in the story (or I do anyway)
