Aniexty is a big one, I suffer from it. It often keeps me awake at night and its not fun. Ive been able to sleep better.
But im glad your talking about mental health, its such a stigma that needs to be uncovered. Because people that suffer mental health issues are people like you and me and everybody else out there. Some people dont notice or wont admit to having a mental health problem. Your doing such a great job! ![]() |

Anxiety most definitely causes lack of sleep in my case. Or insomnia. The struggle is real! So you are not alone there! |
