is this actually some sort of beneficial exercise someone suggested?
I have "worry time" normally throughout the day due to my anxiety issue lol. It's typically the worst when I try to fall asleep. I will just think about everything wrong in my life, my anxieties, the next day, etc.
I have to use breathing exercises and repeat ideas like "worrying is like solving a math problem by chewing bubble gum, useless" and it eventually tones down and I can sleep.
anyways, I love to meditate, helps a lot, but I struggle to do it regularly just due to discipline issues, and I often have some hypnagogic like hallucinations while I do it which can be just as distracting as dealing with intrusive thoughts
