Hi
What you’re going through looks like a long-term anxiety pattern where your mind has become used to staying alert all the time, especially around sleep and responsibilities. Even when your body is tired, your thoughts keep running in the background thinking what if something happens, what if I don’t sleep, what if there is an emergency at work. The more you try to control or force sleep, the more your mind resists it and this creates a loop of sleeplessness, chest discomfort, headache, and constant overthinking. This is not your fault, it is something your brain has learned over many years, and that’s why it feels so difficult to switch off.
We need to slowly break this cycle by helping your mind feel safe again. This will involve working on your fear of uncertainty, especially related to work emergencies, and changing how you respond to sleep. Instead of trying to force sleep, we help your mind relax into it. Techniques like managing overthinking, giving your mind a fixed time to worry during the day, and calming your body will help. Since this has been going on for many years and is now affecting your mood also, proper therapy and sometimes medical support can really help you feel better. Take therapy.
