Hi
My anxiety is the worst at night, just as I’m trying to sleep. Lately I’ve been getting the physical symptoms of anxiety (tight chest, breathless, butterflies, restlessness, shaking) without any anxious thoughts. Im used to this during the day because I tend to suppress my thoughts a lot, it doesn’t work all the time but when I occupy my mind I tend to just feel the physical symptoms without the overthinking/worrying. During the night is when I usually get all of the thoughts I’ve been suppressing coming flooding into my head, but I keep having nights where I don’t have the thoughts but I’m in a constant state of anxiety and I’ve found that no matter what grounding/breathing exercises I do those physical symptoms won’t go away and they can last a long time. I’ve tried melatonin, I’ve tried weed, I’ve tried meditating, listening to music, hypnosis, I don’t know what else to do. It’s having a huge impact on my sleep and I’m exhausted during the day.
