Thoughts and cycle around my Sleep.

I’ve been struggling with sleep & thoughts around my sleep for over two years now, and it’s becoming increasingly difficult to cope. I’ve spend so many time trying to write this for it to make sense, break it down but I feel like if I write it all out maybe it help? When I try to sleep, I often lie awake feeling agitated, sad, and annoyed. Thoughts run through my mind like ‘why can’t I sleep’ and sometime very insensitive thoughts will pop up. This problem has been on my mind almost constantly, affecting about 80% of my thoughts during the day. It’s exhausting and sometimes leads to panic attacks and out-of-body experiences at night.

I have a bedtime routine that I follow diligently, but it doesn’t seem to always help. I feel stuck in a cycle where I’m obsessed with my sleep issues, and it’s affecting my overall well-being. Some days, I can handle it with patience, but other days, it’s overwhelming, and I just don’t know what to do anymore.

I would love to break free from this cycle. I’m not sure what steps to take next.

Any thoughts would be appreciated, thank you Coaches <3

 

 

Answer:

 

First thing is first, we are celebrating your decision to continue investigating ways you can continue to work on this! Additionally, we also encourage all of our clients to use all of the resources they have at their disposal to support them – therapists, GPs, specialists, psychiatrists. Thought work is amazing, but it’s only one spoke in the wheel of wellness and mental health. We absolutely support our members in pursuing these relationships.

As for coaching, I want to ask a clarifying question first so I know what direction to coach in. What does breaking free from this cycle mean to you?

I know that might sound simple, but this is the start of a slow-paced conversation and I want to start it with clarity.
