Ok so to help each other out.... what tips, tricks and things do you do when having an issue whatever that maybe? What has worked for you in the past or present may help someone in the future <3


The Calm app, I use this at nightime to sleep to.... I love the "song" Rainforest Dreams.
Also this for sleep...

I also have a lavender and vanilla fabric spray I use on my bedding and lots of pillows. Talking of which I recently invested in this...

Memory foam pillow

I'm not sure which helps but I think it's a good combo for me. Doesn't always work but most of the time I'm getting more sleep than usual.

What has helped me so far is knowing I am not alone. Knowing there's someone out there that knows I am not doing well. For some reason, that calms me enough. Sometimes when it's really bad I just need to be in a call. Even if they're not talking to me.

For insomnia, I take kids sleeper helpers, like a melatonin pill. it just takes the edge off without feeling weird. It's a low dose. So I can relax and watch iPad in bed. And then suddenly I wake up a few hours later. Then I go to the bathroom, and go back and relax a bit more and sleep longer.
