Insomnia and anxiety

In the last two weeks our therapists have answered 211 queries related to mental health.

I have been suffering from extreme anxiety for around 10 days now which is causing insomnia. My financial situation is currently not good and I'm worried about how I might sustain in the days to come. This is making me very anxious, especially at nights. What should I do?

Hey, Try reading a book or listening to music before you go to sleep, this way your brain will stay focused on a different activity, one that's known to induce sleep in a lot of people. This will help you keep your anxiety at bay.

Make a financial plan or try to get a additional small job to support yourself. If you eradicate the root cause of your problem then your anxiety and insomnia will disappear by itself. Hope you can get through this quickly :)
