What can help me feel less overwhelmed

Ella_Roulette

So especially at night I struggle with any noise except my fan going. I find noise hard and painful. I find bright light hard. I keep chewing my finger nails. I don't know what can help with all of these things. It's frustrating and wish at times there was an easy fix. I'm new diagnosed I just don't know what can help me at times.

  • I get this as well - insomnia really bites. It's good you have your fan, have you tried anything like soothing sounds like a whale? It's helpful for some people so might be worth a try.

    I suffer from insomnia, and can find noises and bright lights distressing. Have you tried blackout blinds to block out outside lights? I've got those now and they're a big help.

    It might be worth trying to get a chew toy so you don't bite your nails as much - I chew my hair way to much so have ordered a chew toy instead.
