I hope the schedule change helps Tika, I'm wondering if you have tried mindfulness meditation.  It doesn't help actual exhaustion... but I think it helps with that spiralling sense of shit getting out of control.  I mean it has a seriously - life changing impact.  It is the strongest drug I know... and I love me some xanax, but meditation is better.

I haven't tried that, I have problems getting my mind to be still, like, ever...  I'll have to look into that 

My problem is remembering it is a tool in my toolbox as it were.  I am great when I do it, I just forget I can. 

If you struggle to keep your mind still you might find a guided meditation helpful. Or some white noise / tranquil sounds.

The headspace app has a free 10 intro course https://www.headspace.com/headspace-meditation-app

Calm is also a good app and also they have meditations on their website https://www.calm.com/meditate

I have one more on my phone but it is currently charging - I will post it later.

I've never really tried mindful meditation per say, I just feel when I need to meditate (when I remember) I does me loads of good.  You should really give it a go and see how it works.  My recommendation is not to try it once, try it a few different times, try it different times of the day to see if that makes a difference, try it before you eat, or after you eat, first thing after you wake up, or last thing right before bed.  One of them is bound to be best.   

Thank you guys I'll definitely try
