Re: rough time
I hear you 
I understand I'm laying beside you So here we are, sick & tired of our lives, just wanting to breathe without having to think about it, rejecting the pain we have & we cause, trying to avoid dissapointment & failure. We battle all the basics not just breath - eating, drinking, sleeping, peeing, pooping, thinking. We dream of such simple successes that most would think instinctive.
We dream
We strive
We battle
Together

Re: rough time
Does anyone know how to stop yourself from tossing around?
2 hrs ive been doing it and still no end in sight. I cant get myself to stop. Ive tried getting up and going for a walk and reading a book and trying to calm but its not working at all. It is becoming physically painful

Re: rough time
Hi @outlander
Just checking, are you trying to sleep?
If you are, is your room temperature warm or cold? If the room temperature is cold, it may help to slow down your tossing around.
I hope this helps.

Re: rough time
Hey @outlander. Not sure if it's something you might be interested in, but how about listening to a story? You may have seen the books that are helping some of us find our night time calm. There are also some great not-picture books on YouTube to listen to. Lunar posted The Secret Garden the other day.
Sounds like you've tried a few things already. Hope something helps soon x

Re: rough time
Yes @SleepyPanda i havent been sleeping either at all or max 3 hrs a night. My room is dark cool. I am generally comfortable besides the tossing around. Still no sleep. I am very tired and feel my eyes popping out of my head but still cant sleep.
@CheerBear thank you for your suggestion. It seems even when im listening to a meditation or breathing app i still feel the need to move. Ive got music on now just gentle quiet stuff and it hasnt helped.. i just cant seem to stop moving
