I have found a link between me and my generalized anxiety

Health

So this is going to seem REALLY obvious! And im sorry if it dose. Im only trying to help... Something that i didn't know played a big roll in my anxiety:

SLEEP!!!

Yes i know (...well no shit Sherlock) but its something that is difficult for me to manage (as im sure it is the rest of us) but ensuring you get decent sleep at night, plays a huge roll on how bad my Symptoms are. I work in a career that is detrimental to my sleep cycle and I've noticed that a-lot of my really Nasty symptoms occur around bed time.

-Heart jumping out of my chest. -Nerves feel like they are on fire -Feels like doom is closing in on you. -Ect...

Having anxiety can be very disruptive to your sleep. But tackling it early on (i feel..) can help minimize the symptoms. For me it was hard realize that this was a problem because i try to distract myself with video-games,YT, TV- Shit that emits Blue lights and become over stimulating thus preventing me from from going "damn bro im tired."

I need to sleep with a TV on... which seems comforting at first but in the long run isn't healthy. So a work around for this might be using your ears instead of your eyes. Soft music, nature sounds. White noise. Things that don't wake you up all night. It sounds a-lot easier said than done i know but if this helps ANY ONE, then it was worth posting. Give it your best and good luck.
