How to ‘switch off’? My brain never stops and I’m exhausted

Ayrshire.Rob

Desperately trying to recover from being ill. In my current state I’m struggling with my non-stop brain activity. The breathing exercises and how I usually manage my bedtime routine aren’t working

  • Have you spoken to your GP about this issue?

    There is a decent chance they can give you some medication to help you get over the short term spike of anxiety to try to find a healthier balance as the illness issue is resolved.

    I imagine anxiety is fuelling the mental state and with all the cortisol sloshing about in your body it will make sleep nearly impossible.

    The lack of sleep makes you feel exhausted and that only makes the other issues feel worse, so becomes a self fuelling fire.

    That would be my suggestion - break the cycle with the help of your GP.
