how to deal with anxiety induced insomnia
hello. first of all ive had insomnia my whole life. i went on meds and it got mucy better thab before, less regular, but during stressful times i still get it and it causes me to massively underperform and lower my life quality. also recently I stopped my meds.
right now it's my finals week and i cannot sleep because of stress. I havent slept more than a few hours everyday for the past 2 ish weeks. i get worried that if i sleep ill miss my exam even though its in 15 hours. its a weird irrational worry and causes me to not get any sleep until the morning after when i manage to sleep for a few hours and wake up every 30 mins or so with anxiety. I feel like im floating and im dead and numb. I just feel nothing but tiredness Im so exhausted and unfortunately this shows on my studies and exams, idk what to do.
I dont want to use meds, im sick of that routine, I just want to not be so anxious that it makes me insomniac like other people.
