I never thought I would be dealing with anxiety attacks at my age, especially while I’m trying to sleep. It’s been a struggle, but I’ve found a few things that have helped me through these tough nights. Deep breathing exercises before bed have really made a difference for me. I’ve also started writing in a journal to release some of the stress and worries that keep me up at night. Talking to a therapist has also been incredibly helpful in understanding and managing my anxiety. I know I’m not alone in this, and I’m open to any other tips or tricks that have worked for others dealing with nighttime anxiety attacks.
