How to treat sleep issues, mood swings, and behavior issues?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I am so sorry to hear about your situation, I can imagine how hard it must be for you.

With the little information that I have, I think your sleep issues are just an external expression of underlying anxiety. It is the fear that is keeping you awake so to help you with your sleep issues.

First, we need to take a few measures to help you in increasing your relaxation levels which would calm you down. For that, you can try why deep breathing exercises like box breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, meditation before sleep. You have to maintain your sleep hygiene which essentially means regulating your bedtime and your process of going to sleep which in common language is called night rituals.

Once you have established this then you need to work on your anxiety. As you have also mentioned that you were sent for anger management 10 years ago, I would suggest starting psychotherapy as soon as possible which will help you understand the negative thoughts which are causing all these mood symptoms.

Taking care of anxiety and anger is one thing, then the next step is finding the root cause of it and getting rid of it will help you solve the issue permanently. So I would suggest you to start psychotherapy. You can find a local counselor or we can start therapy online via video consultations.

I hope this helps.
