Hey everyone. I tend to hang a tough time coping with my depression at night. I try to sleep, but its so hard. I start thinking about how horrible everything is and I get numb.
I did take up running and it's been helping a lot with emotions, but when I am not being physical, I get very sad. The night is terrible. I cry myself to sleep every night... Does anyone have any suggestions for it? What do you do to help yourself sleep? |

I listen to muscle relaxation recordings when I get like that and my brain won't shut down. I have an app for my iPad. It plays for about 20 minutes by then I'm usually asleep.

Hi PsychMajor,
It doesn't work 100% of the time for me, but prayer tends to help a lot when I'm experiencing difficulties in getting to sleep. It gives me perspective and puts my mind in a different place. A place where sleep is easier to achieve. Cal |
