You sound quite angry/jittery.aMUSEd wrote:Really suffering from insomnia since stopping mirtazipine. Some nights I'm just getting a couple of hours then waking up with my mind active and finding it impossible to get back to sleep even though I'm physically knackered.
been trying various relaxation/mindfulness apps but I can't stand them, I just can't listen to some dick droning on about letting go of my tension bla bla bla, but the typical sort of new agey relaxation music I just find unlistenable as well. What would you recommend? I want something that will relax me but without making me just want to turn it off.
I would try meditating if I were you, but actually investigating what meditation really is.
My experience is that there is very little that will 'relax you'. It's a process that you have to find yourself, and meditation is one of the best ways of doing that. The aim of meditation isn't relaxation, but the results are often relaxation.
