xan you do something to deviate your thoughts. i play music and burn incense that helps me. slow deep breaths in and out. and say aloud, this shall pass. etc. try watching something on the idiot box. comedy helps relieve anxiety. see how you go. healing thoughts. ps talk to your doc. there are treatments avail.

Hi

Sorry to hear you are having a lot of anxiety at the moment which is stopping you sleep I agree with HT about trying to deviate your thoughts I usually do that be listening to music or reading. I think that if you can get your sleep sorted out your anxiety will get better I did a post on sleep hygiene here's the link

Hi Bik.,

Vegas is not exactly the place to try to relax, is it? The constant noise, lights and crowds have got to be challenging.

I am sorry, as it is hard to be panicky away from home!

I use postive mantras to help calm me down. Try repeating reassuring things to yourself over and over. It does help to change the negative thought patterns.

I did this many years back, and it got me through a panicked trip to DisneyLand!

For sleep...have you tried Soundwave Therapy? Called Binaural Beats, this can help with inducing a deep sleep, or at least relaxation. It can be found as an app, or you can stream off of youtube.

Give it a try tonight.

Hope the rest of your trip is better!
