Despite being pretty good during the day, at night the anxiety gets harder to deal with.
The fear I'm feeling paranoid about people watching me when I know they aren't, anything really that used to make me anxious!
I am practicing all the techniques and I know I will get better, I know it takes time and practice.
I just needed to confide!

It was probably a sound that your half asleep brain interpreted as your name.
youre ok, Skye.
getting a mid day sleep sounds like a good idea though! I wish my youngest still had a day sleep!!

you're doing great Skye, you're not going nuts.
Remember to use what you know.
Remember to challenge these thoughts that you're having.
Remember that you are not going crazy and you've been checked by a doctor.
I was reading something just before that might be helpful for you:
Our brains are organs devoted to solving problems, just like our stomachs are organs devoted to digesting food. When we direct them to solve a problem, like adding up numbers or reading a paragraph, brains generally do a good job. But there is no "off switch" to the brain. It is always looking for problems, just as our stomachs are always waiting for food. When our brains lack problems to solve, they often make some up.
I read that paragraph and it really made me think.
You are ok Skye. Go back to your good day.
You deserve your good day so let yourself have it.

Skye,
If you want a song to listen to, this one really helped me.
It perfectly puts into words how this feels, but is somehow empowering, it makes me want to beat this. It makes me know that I am not alone and that someone else can capture this in words. It's also great to walk to!
Go on youtube and look up Andy Bull Black Dog.
