Going to bed

Does anyone else on here struggle to go to bed? We have a real problem with this in my family. We always mean to go to bed at about 11pm but we always actually end up going to bed at about 2am. It’s a habit we seem to find so hard to break. It’s annoying.

  • Yes I have this problem too. I don’t even work but my mind races so fast and I get triggered so easily that I just think what’s the point in sleeping yet. Also I personally feel what’s the point because of the amount of people who have told me hurtful things that I think why should I bother sleeping and caring for myself, I’m not worth it

  • Please don’t think you’re not worth taking care of yourself - I’m sure that you are. I understand that feeling though - and I’m sorry you sometimes feel that way. 

  • Thank you for your reply. I’m not sure about anything anymore, I got harassed couple of years ago and bullied growing up so everything just feels like what’s the point now. How I was always compared to rich people and celebs and their kids etc. maybe I don’t want their life but apparently I’m in denial. Sorry for the rant and going off topic. Either way I struggle to sleep with all the triggers and flashbacks etc like if I wake in the night or wake normally my mind just starts racing with the most irritating things. I’m nearly diagnosed but I feel like upset it’s autism that’s stopping me from getting better
