Anyone else hate this

[Tmr789123]

So.. Does anyone else feel like their anxiety is like five times worse at night? I feel good all day for the most part but once night comes...bam! Anxietys back. I feel so alone like I'm the only around for miles which I know isn't true cuz I live in a pretty populated town and I've got four other people in my house. My friend lives with my family too and even if he's in the other room I still feel like I'm all alone and when everyone's sleeping idk what to do. I'm left with my anxiety and my thoughts and they don't go well together.

I am 100 percent the same as you
And I'm sorry you deal with this too
I have a boyfriend who sleeps right next to me and it doesn't help
I keep a sudoku book by my bed to keep my mins occupied if I can't sleep
Or I search and comment on here
But the sudoku really helps
It's using my mind and hands

I was just going to make a thread like this also

Do you sleep at night? Being tired can make anxiety worse.

On the flip side, I get anxiety at night quite a bit when I don't feel tired enough to sleep, so feeling wired is not really a good feeling either. Then again, an attack can hit me at any time depending on my stress level and sleep pattern etc at the time..

I figured Id post haha. Figured someone else might feel this too. I might try that though. I was thinking maybe a puzzle or a word find book or something like tht or a crossword. I don't have a girlfriend or anything so it really feels like I'm alone. And I really really don't like to be alone because that's when my thoughts take over and I start to feel really anxious

[Tmr789123]

Yes I'm alright with sleep I usually stay up late but I've been trying to get to sleep around like midnight at the latest. And I can usually make myself fall asleep at anytime haha

All I wanna do at home is relax and it's the one thing I can't do. As soon as I "relax" it's like anxiety bugs start flying lol
But yes give the word puzzles a try! I choose sudoku for the reason they r numbers so they don't remind me of anything and it's a lot of strategy

[Tmr789123]

Yeah exactly like ur supposed to feel safe and comfortable at home and it's like what the heck anxiety lol I just want to watch tv and relax without feeling anxious and having a million thoughts go through my head. And there's nothing for me to feel anxious about so idk I feel like this.

And I'm probably gonna pick up a sudoku book or something cuz numbers probably will be better for me haha won't remind me of anything
