During the daytime you are busy and distracted. Because of this lots of thoughts are suppressed unaddressed. At night when it's quiet, all thoughts come back. Once you associate your bed with thinking. The mind starts to think as soon as you are in bed instead of calming down and sleeping. Insomnia can lead to array to physical and mental illness. 2 years is a rather long period. You have taken the first step by posting here now it's time to get this treated. I provide online consultation and therapy support you can contact me for detailed evaluation and management.

There can be multiple reasons for what you are experiencing. Since you have been suffering for 2 years, initially medicines might be required to help you out. However ling term improvement will happen with lifestyle and dietary changes. To analyse what changes you need, you will have to get a detail assessment done. Please contact a psychiatrist and a dietician for appropriate help.
