Insomnia SUCKS!

I feel you...

:)

and bear in mind that i'm a meme, not a credentialed counselor...

Well you see, doc...

seriously, we can put a lot of pressure on ourselves. some is good, but life should be enjoyed. each day is a gift, and all that jazz. right now, try a simple deep-breathing exercise for 5 minutes. slow, deep breaths. clear your mind if you can, or think of someone you like.

I used to not understand the appeal before, but now I'm hooked on coffee for the taste. I used to think it tasted like shit, but now I usually need coffee after bread or pastry.

Breathing exercises might help alongside getting back into yoga...

Lol btw think of someone I like in what way?

in some way that's pleasant and distracting from the things your mind tends to brood on, that's all. insomnia's a pattern to break, at least it was for me. i got a prescription for an anti-anxiety med and took it at a minimal dose for a few months just to help me sleep. getting a more comfortable bed also helped a lot. now i'm med free and sleep well every night. if i didn't limit my triggers, i'm pretty sure i'd go back to insomnia again.

I was making leaps with it for a few months before I made that meme. I just fell off routine. Shit's important. Gotta get back into the nightly and wake up rituals, and getting back into daily exercise because honestly I just got lazy as f**k the past couple weeks lol

well alright then. i've become better at working out regularly and i expect that's part of my recent sleep success too.
