The Broken Record

It's hard to pin down one time that I was restless. I have anxiety so I can say I'm restless a lot. I am the most restless when I am lying in bed waiting to fall asleep at night; when my brain doesn't want to shut up and there's more going on in my mind than my body will allowI like equating it with a hamster on a wheel it just keeps going and going and going… The best example I think is when my best friend came out to me, I think I was up all night because our conversation kept running around in my head until I fell asleep. I feel like my mind always has to solve problems when I'm restless or at least is trying to like I have to solve a million problems before I fall asleep. I hate that! I don't really have a good way to deal with restlessness it's just there until I can replace it with something else. Usually I start writing stories in my head like the next in 1 of the stories I am writing, or I will make up a completely new story. Sometimes I wake up from dreams with stories in my head.
