I’ve started packing my schedule full so I don’t have too much time to think anymore. I workout, I read, I doom scroll, I go shopping alone a lot (it’s probably an issue at this point) but I never stop bc then I’ll never have time to think for too long

So it may seem strange but my panic disorder is exactly the same, I started fixing my sleep schedule but the thoughts kept racing. The one thing that kickstarted my path to better sleep was legit sleeping with sticky notes and a pen. I wrote everything down that I was stressed about or had on my mind so that I had somewhere else for it to stay. Hope that can help you out as well!!

progressive muscle relaxation helps me focus on something else and it engages your whole body
