I have such a difficult time of sleeping. I'm autistic and I suffer with anxiety as well, also grief after losing my sister in 2015. At some point over time I began having difficulty with sleeping. It might have been before 2015 but I noticed it most after Alice died, and since then my stresses have gotten worse what with every day life stuff going on. My stress has been a lot worse again of late, I tried working again, it didn't go well and I feel like that's set me back some what.
I've always had issues with sleeping, as a child I was infuriating my mum said because I wouldn't go to bed because I was never tired and then I woke several times every night. This continued well in to late childhood and even in to my teens. I sleep, then wake, and then sleep again, and then wake up. That has been my night routine for years. On the surface it doesn't sound much of a problem but overall it's affecting me badly - my immune system is bad now, I'm always tired, body aches and I get so much anxiety it's hard to get through the day with it.
I don't know what I'm hoping for writing this. Maybe just to know it isn't only me like this? Or some help? I don't know. Sorry, this isn't a good first post.
