    It’s hard to sleep well when intrusive thoughts keep replaying your most traumatic memories, or when anxiety has your heart pounding too hard to fall asleep. It’s hard to exercise when just standing up feels like you are lifting ten times your weight and taking a shower would be an insurmountable achievement. And food? Sometimes pouring a bowl of cereal or ordering a pizza are all you have the mental wherewithal to accomplish.

      Yeah, I used to be like too. Still am when I don’t get time to exercise and therefore struggle to sleep well therefore get brain fog therefore get depressed therefore can’t sleep, get hallucinations, panic attacks, no appetite, no motivation etc. etc. Sounds like you know the drill.
