A member asked:
I didn't sleep much lastnight probably from the lexapro (escitalopram) or anxiety, but i'm now trying to relax and take a nap& everytime i close eyes i get anxiety?

Deep breathing: The expectation of,anxiety can create it. A bedtime ritual focused on relaxation would,help. A bath, deep breathing, reading, and talking to yourself can help. Remind yourself that anxiety does not last forever, and that it is no more,than a feeling.
