Sleep issues

If you pull a tab down from top you can turn the page to a setting specially for night reading it turns the page to a different colour to aid sleep. Mine has that on the kindle fire give it a go. I only discovered it a few weeks ago. Good luck its near the settings button x

No luck. Kindle white doesnt come with this option. Id try to keep the brightness low and see how it goes.

Hey gil, i see that you have health anxiety. May i ask, how severe is it, and how do you manage it? I've got health anxiety as well. Maybe i could learn something from you.

RD,

You may be able to find an adhesive/removable amber screen for devices (neutralizes blue light) on Amazon...

...and here is an article that might help with more ideas.

As far as health anxiety relief...the most successful treatments usually include CBT therapy for long term recovery. If seeing a therapist isn't an option, then self help is also very effective...and we have links specifically for this in our Resources!

Hi Rav
My health anxiety at moment is under control but I have to work at it.
Like today at work , I'd had a bit of ear/throat ache and on turning quick I felt a bit dizzy , automatically I could feel the panic rising and felt really unwell , which I knew was anxiety lurking but in the panic I really had to focus remind myself I suffer with anxiety.. Because my mind was racing about what it could be? Was it my heart etc.

So I took a work break ,,just 10 mins to pop my headphones on to listen to a quick break from work/study app I downloaded on to my phone. It helped to get through the afternoon.. I also reminded myself I had not had enough to drink either, so sorted that.

It really is a maintenance work in progress job getting your head round health anxiety and the the anxiety that comes from that..working at it all the time... Not getting blasé and letting your guard down.

Getting a good work/life balance is key ... I have had a crazy couple of days at work so tonight I need to really look after me relaxation rest meditation mantra quiet time soak bed and sleep.

I learnt the hard way and was a wreck a couple of months ago , the problems I had with stomach/digestion spiraled in my head , and no matter what I was told , I was convinced I had pancreatic cancer or a tumour... I was a mess thought was going crazy, couldn't function properly shaking nausea irrational thoughts couldn't get a decent breath no sleep no motivation but then couldn't sit still avoided people couldn't go out mouth constant dry burning tongue and lips you name it I had it ... So accute . Slowly but surely I used every coping skill , gp gave me diazepam to help break the circle and get back in control
It turned out to be gallstones lol and I'm having an op in 2 weeks.


It is so convincing though when there's twinge or nausea etc to imagine the worse .. So I have to really focus and distract away from the feelings...

Not sure if the above waffling helps ... But any time xx

hey gil,

All of it does help. Getting to know someone who goes through the life same way you do, makes a world of a difference. It lets us know that we are not alone. Thank you for sharing that. :)

WHAT FIXES SLEEP PATTERNS IS VALIUM AND MELATONIN BUT BEST IS CALLED VALERIAN ROOT. YOU HAVE TO CALL HEALTH FOOD STORES TO FIND IT OR BUY ON INTERNET. 100 TABLETS FOR UNDER $15 DOLLARS. ONE A DAY about 8 P.M. AND IT WILL DO MORE FOR YOU THAN ANYTHING ELSE. I USE IT AND ITS COMPLETELY CHANGED MY SLEEP TO NORMAL AND IT IS A HERB A SMALL WHITE FLOWER SO THERE IS NO AFTER EFFECT. I READ ALL YOUR OTHER PROBLEMS AND I RECOGNIZED THEM ALL BECAUSE I HAD IT ALSO. NAUSEA.ANXIETY.DEPRESSION.DRY MOUTH AND DIAHHREA ALL START IN THE STOMACH. IT STARTS WITH YEAST IN THE BREAD WE EST IS FULL OF YEAST. BEER THE WORST ALSO IS FULL OF BREWERS YEAST AND MAKES YOU SICK DEPRESSES AND NAUSEATED. I WOULD 100% BE CHECKED OUT BY A NATUROPATH THAT PRACTICES YEAST ANTIFUNGAL HEALING. DON'T ASK A DOCTOR FOR ADVICE ON YEAST THEY NEVER TREAT YEAST. BECAUSE THEY KNOW IT IS THE TRUE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM. THEY ALWAYS. SAY WE HAVE DONE ALL THE TESTS AND YOU DON'T. HAVE A YEAST PROBLEM. I KNEW I HAD A YEAST OVERGROWTH PROBLEM AND THAT'S. WHAT YOU HAVE. CUT OOUT YEAST FOR A WHILE .I. I STOPPED COMPLETELY NEVER AGAIN WILL I TOUCH YEAST. THEY SAY THERE IDS 1.7 BILLION PEOPLE WITH IBS YEAST PROBLEM. YOU WILL FINDDO A YEAST TEST THAT'S IT.
