Im really struggling today with my mental health, I feel deflated, agitated, on edge and my anxiety is just unbearable. I didnt sleep at all last night, there is just too much going on in my head. Im living in a chaotic environment and I know thats part of this episode.
I really dont know what to do to feel better. Can anyone suggest anything to help me, I just need people who understand as I dont have a support network at home.

Sorry you are going through that. Lack of sleep definitely intensifies everything you are feeling. My suggestion is to take a deep breath. Write down everything that is bothering you . Rage the page , and get all your thought out . Try to do a mediation there are tons to choose from on YouTube . Try to rest , lie down and close your eyes, even if you don’t sleep just try to let your body rest . Not sure if any of this will help you but I wish you luck . Remember tomorrow is a new day !
I use tapping techniques it helps me. I use the middle of the head. I pair that with leaves on a stream. Where you slow your thoughts and decide whether or not you need the thoughts.
What chaotic environment are you living in Kay-lee. Are you able to get away from it, even for a while of "me time"?
Try laying on the bed with this gong sound playing. Close your eyes and try to clear all thoughts from your mind. Every time a thought comes into your mind, just delete it. Keep going deleting any thoughts.

It's fucked. I tried praying my way out. Now I pray about what now. If we are still alive it's not over.
Hi Kay-Lee
Sorry you are having a difficult time.
I journal most days. Record my symptoms and how I’m feeling as well as what I eat.
It helps to see patterns and helps keeping me in check. Memory fails at some point always.
I also found Vibrant blue oils by Jodi Cohen. Her natural oils especially parasympathetic oil has been my life saver. I couldn’t sleep when first diagnosed with so much mentally and physically going on. I couldn’t shut down.
A small dab behind the ear lobes always get me to sleep no matter of the time. Honestly every time. Now I only need it occasionally after about a year of regular use.
Do something for you everyday no matter how small. It always makes a difference in time.
Think of it as building your bank account.
