Is there a reason why nights are so much harder? I was fine all day, but now I’m having back to back anxiety attacks. My chest is aching and I can’t stop sobbing. My thoughts are eating me alive.

Stop thinking. Were do you live on this earth .
If only it were that simple, I’m trapped in my mind. I live in the United States, how about you?
Me to how old are you
Im 21
I’m 19 almost 20!
Listen to clasical piani or something. Thats what helps me when I lay down trapped in my head. Or get up and soak in a hot bath for as long as you can or want. Write all of your clustered thoughts on paper as the apear in your head. It doesn’t matter how side tracked you get, or if your sentences don’t make any sense at all.
When you lay down at night before bed. It’s said that people’s minds are a lot easier to race. Because it’s quiet, you are idle. Throughout the day you usally acomplish tasks or do things that your mind focuses on. At night theres nothing left but to fall asleep. Anxiety will cause you to think about everything you need to do through out the mext day or emotions you have subsided. It will then cause a snowball effect after a while and you can’t even recal what caused your mind to race. It’s best to find something that helps you fall asleep. Some people watch tv or read a book before bed.
I just can’t get myself up. I haven’t eaten all day and I was going to make myself food but now I’ve gotten myself so worked up that I’m nauseous. I will try the classical music, thank you so much for the tip.
Moretroublethanimworth; no problem at all. I hope you’re able to eat before falling to sleep tonight.
I’m sitting here crying. Nighttime is the worst. I know exactly what you mean.
Would you like to try breathing techniques? I could also do what I can to get your mind cleared up. If you would like to vent I’m open.
Tomorrow is my birthday. I’m completely lonely. And my life is stressful. Do you have any different breathing techniques? I just know about breathing deep and holding it for a few seconds and letting it release slowly. It helps for a few seconds then I’m miserable again.
Clairtte; well happy early birthday, if you hate birthdays. Well then happy un-birthday today. I assume your birthday is causing you anxiety? My breathing technique when I cry is to think about my breathing. If you have a pet, match your breathing to theirs. If you don’t focous on breathing instead of your thoughts. Sometimes I actually think really deeply about breathing. Imagining my lungs taking in the air and releasing it into carbonmanoxide. How the muscles in my chest are actually working. How they contract and relax. It becomes soothing after a while for me. Then I realize the only thing that I can think about is breathing until I fall asleep.
That’s a really good idea actually. I do have a dog, I’ll do the breathing technique with him. Thanks so much
It really is hard. I had a rough night last night and that’s when I found the site. Then this morning I felt fine and I’ve been good all day until about an hour ago. Haven’t stopped crying since. Happy early birthday, I hope your day is as wonderful as you are.
Thank you. The daytime is usually fine with me because I’m busy, but then nighttime… there’s nothing to do and my thoughts invade me. I also hate the weekends for this same reason. I want to kill myself on the weekends then on Monday it’s like I’m free again. I just need constant stimulation that way I don’t think… I do play video games, but that is starting to not work anymore.
Well welcome to SP. Glad to see a new member again. Did anxiety cause you to feel this way tonight? I will be doing my best to give you both pointers.

For the trees
I’ve struggled with anxiety and depression since I was about 10 years old. I’ve never had suicidial thoughts until recently, and I have never considered going through with it nor do I have any desire to. I just feel like I don’t want to exist sometimes because it just seems easier. I’m used to a rush of emotions but I think not being used to these thoughts is just freaking me out and increasing my anxiety.
I feel very similarly. I’ve had on and off suicidal thoughts practically all my life though. When I was a kid/teenager I just wished to die young, but never suicide. Since I got older I’ve thought about taking my own life. But like you, I could never go through with it. I have fantasies of it though. I hope you do feel better soon… I’m gonna just take something to make me sleepy and go to bed early I think…
Moretroubkethanimworth; don’t let it consume you. It’s extremely hard to get out of. You may be fimilar with that. It’s good that you are reaching out. Things I’ve found to help myself or others is; music, writing, talking, being creative, spending time with pets, family, friends, being put in nature, running, picking up a new hobby, and so much more. I could go on forever. All of these things will lesen your anxiety. Normally anxiety is the main cause of depression, and depression is the main cause of having suicidal thoughts. In your case it’s not so much suicidal yet. Which is great. My advice is to try to get your anxiety under control or find something that lessens it. Then you will notice an improvement all together. Even if it seems unintresting or impossible, just go for it. The hardest part is actually doing it.
You are so sweet. I don’t think you realize how much better I feel knowing other people feel the same way I do. It’s not common among my friends so I don’t talk to them about it because I don’t want them to think I’m crazy because they don’t understand. Like I said I’ve struggled with both for about 9 years. College and living on my own now has just increased them both. I will definitely try some of those tips to relax my mind. Thank you again 🙂
Clairtte; read the comment above, that will help you as well. I hope at least.
Or you can play a game on the pc.
I’ve heard that will help! I should give it a try. Thank you 🙂
Super Cult Tycoon – this is a very fun game. See if it works on your pc. I don’t think it works on mine because of my old graphic card.. 🙁 So I will go with Dungeon Siege 😀
