Hi , I'm new to the community and I totally get you.
My mind races with negative thoughts in the middle of the night and sometimes my heart races as well. All I do is try to relax as well. Recently I have been trying out techniques of letting go and staying calm. It did not eliminate the negative thoughts but at least it attempts to wrestle and rationalise them, and it kinda made me feel a little better in these nights. What are your negative thoughts usually about? Mine is usually about health concerns over insufficient sleep.
Hang in there, have faith that we will get better.

Hi . You are certainly not alone and I hope others in the community chime in to let you know that. Here is an article from one of our Health Leaders about racing thoughts and insomnia: https://insomnia.sleep-disorders.net/living/racing-thoughts-and-anxiety. I thought you might find it interesting. Have you talked with your doctor about it? Wishing you the best. - Lori (Team Member)
