Please can anyone help me? My mind is tired, my eyes is tired, I want to sleep but my mind is keep thinking and i can’t stop it. My mind always making a new scenario and there’s some things that keep me worrying and it’s bothering my school and my ministry in church since it’s in the morning (sorry for bad english).

hey, i’m really sorry you’re feeling this way — it sounds exhausting to have your mind constantly racing when all you want is rest :confused: please don’t worry about your english, you’re doing great and what matters is that you reached out for support :blue_heart:

sometimes, when we’re overwhelmed, it’s really hard to quiet our thoughts. one thing that might help is a simple deep breathing exercise. here’s how you can try it:

  1. sit or lie down somewhere comfortable.
  2. close your eyes and take a slow, deep breath in through your nose for 4 seconds.
  3. hold that breath for 4 seconds.
  4. slowly exhale through your mouth for 4 seconds.
  5. repeat this for a few minutes, focusing on your breathing and nothing else.

this can help calm your mind and make it a bit easier to relax. if you feel comfortable, you can share with a close friend about what’s worrying you, or you can try writing down what’s on your mind before bed. sometimes getting it out can make a big difference! share with us if any of these worked and if not, we can figure out something else together :smiling_face:

Hey there! I’m really sorry to hear that you’re feeling this way. It’s tough when your mind just won’t switch off, especially when you have so much on your plate with school and church. Have you tried any relaxation techniques, like deep breathing or listening to calming music before bed? Sometimes, writing down your thoughts can also help clear your mind and make it easier to rest. Remember, it’s okay to reach out for support if you need it! You’re not alone in this and we’re all here for you. :blossom:
