You don’t have a preference for the gender of the sophrologist ? I know my mom prefers to hear a woman voice when we meditate (once we meditated with a man voice and she didn’t feel relaxed) ---

Not really I drank too much coffee and then the night kind of got away from me while I was working on some music and then I realized that I would sleep in too late so I decided to stay up and pull an all-nighter. ---

Ever since I started using daridoxterant for more or less regular night sleep. I’ve been quite calm. If you require a medication which isn’t addictive or groggy inducing - this could be an option. ---

> [@Ducky](#): > > 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. It makes total sense that when everything piles up it starts to feel like a spiral, especially when you’re trying so hard to find balance. What you’re describing sounds deeply tiring, and it’s okay to say “I’m tired.” That doesn’t mean you’re weak, it means you’re human. You’re already showing strength by fighting through that noise, by trying to use music to ground yourself, and by being honest about how you feel. That’s resilience, even if it doesn’t feel like it right now. Spiral feelings can feel relentless, but having moments of overwhelm doesn’t erase all the efforts you’re making, like sleep, food, self-care, awareness of thoughts, those matter more than you might realize. It’s okay to rest, to ask for help, to take things moment by moment, not to be “fixed,” but to be supported. You don’t have to carry all of this alone. Keep holding on to the small things that help, even just recognizing how hard it is, because that is a form of balance. You deserve compassion, peace, and support, and I’m really glad you reached out here. I’m rooting for you 🙂 ---
