Time has slowed down. Or did I speed up? I don't know what to do. Eat, or watch tv, or stay in bed, or something else.

Do you know why you are anxious?

Part of it is typical Sunday night insomnia. But also I think my dog must have fleas.

When I’ve been super anxious, losing myself in a book or immersing myself in something to take myself away from those thoughts/feelings, seems to really help... then I sleep eventually, exhausted.

Ways to get rid of fleas. If you find one kill it. You only need to kill one. All the rest will be going to the funrral.

Some people with insomnia have trouble sleeping as well. Horlicks is said to put people to sleep. Go easy though... Is said it is used as poision in those poison darts.. I used to fall asleep watching Derek Prince videos.

Those videos remind me, I have a family member who suffers terribly with sleep issues, and they listen to a Podcast(if you google “Naked Bible”, you’ll find it). Apparently it has alot of good content.

I tried and tried and tried to watch Derek Prince, but half way through.....Snore! Even in the middle of the daytime. I think it is the calming effect of his voice which sent me to sleep.

Anxiety is hell, I'm sorry. Have you tried meditation or seen someone about getting some medication? It helps some people.

I spray lavender (from amazon) all over my pillow then inhale that and it seems to calm my mind if my mind is racing and I can't sleep. I would probably be anxious too if I had fleas in my house.

I used to have diazepam for anxiety to take as needed but I haven't needed it for ages. Recently though I have been getting high levels of anxiety again.

I haven't seen a flea. Just flea dirt.

I apologise for my humourus comments last night. I was in a funny mood where humour just comes out. I know how hard anxiety struggles are. I have often been paralized unable to stand due to them. Stuck on a chair or on the floor, or stuck in the seat of my car unable to get up... When I know I may have an appointment for something....The time is getting shorter, and it is on my mind and I still can't get up! Yes. I know anxiety! Go away anxiety! Leave!! !
