Hi, after being diagnosed with thyroid cancer my already complicated sleep pattern is all over the place. I’m autistic and sleeps always been a challenge but since my diagnosis I can’t shut my brain off at night. I sit and think about everything and I go down a rabbit hole. I’m trying my best to form a good plan to get to sleep it just isn’t happening.
i keep overthinking and my heads going a thousand miles a minute. It’s like the lights go out and it’s just me and my brain. Battling between anxiety to overwhelming emotions. I’m due to go into hospital soon for thyroid removal & neck dissection, which isn’t helping my thoughts at night.
i really need ideas to help get to sleep. It’s like I’ve got a visitor in my head who won’t leave. Just the power of anxiety. This cancer diagnosis comes as a shock & since I’ve been a bag of nerves. I’m 22 and severely scared of hospital too. So this journey is a scary one.
