Trying to eat, sleep right and deal with thoughts (paranoia, intrusive thoughts) and neighbours making me anxious. Its a struggle just drowning out the noise with music, yep constant torment my life trying to live some sort of balance and when it goes off course i spiral , even when it doesnt i spiral. I’m tired of spiralling, im tired of everything. ---

Sounds like you need something to make you relax. It’s like your mind is going 100mph all the time. You should talk to your doctor about options. I use L-theanine, but I use a lot of it. Still it keeps me calm. ---

Thing is ive been on meds that settled my thoughts down and i didnt like them. I like to feel some control. But you do have a point i will try diazapam , take more of that. ---

I had to look up what a sophrologist was ive never heard of it in the Uk before. It says its tools to stay calm and prepare for events like exams etc. Yes it seems its a valuable thing. I dont get any sort of therapy but i do meditate which helps some. Thanks @Vaiana ---

You’re welcome 😊 It’s a psychologist I was seeing that talked to me about a sophrologist I was shaking my head like crazy before seeing the sophrologist, I don’t do that anymore ---

I advice you to check what is the average price for a session of sophrology in America because it seems a bit expensive for me The usual price in France is 50€ ---

It’s difficult to find a source near me and this one is telehealth They may be taking advantage of the sparse market to some extent ---

You’re welcome 😊 I know a telehealth site for sophrologists in France, I could look for you in America if you want to find a reliable site/sophrologist Sophrologists are rather known in France I think so maybe they are more in France tho ---

Yes, I believe that sophrology is bigger in France than it is in the US. Meaning it may be difficult to find someone here. If you have a minute to look it couldn’t hurt. I’m in Pennsylvania ---

No, I don’t think so. But actually I would keep my options open if you could find it. Yes perhaps! [Next page](https://schizophreniasupport.discourse.group/t/just-trying-to-manage-the-stress/1455.md?page=2)
