Can't sleep thinking of people I've wronged...Help?
Kinda long...please help....and no bashing...I have always had issues with insomnia. When I was younger I was involved with drinking alcohol and taking prescription medicine. When I was a child I was raped and turned to those things to cope with my pain and I hurt a lot of men. Men who deeply loved me. Like the love you see in movies. Now I am older I have a husband I have a family I haven't even sipped a beer in over a year or taken any kind of drug. I have apologized to the. men I have taken advantage of and hurt. I have finally healed from the tragic things I dealt with in my childhood. But for some reason on. some nights like tonight I think of the ways I treated people who just wanted to help and I get sick to my stomach and I hurt so bad I can't sleep and all I want to do is explain how deeply sorry I am. These thingss happened years ago but I hurt some great people and this has been bothering me since I have. gotten my life together. I don't know what to do. I hate feeling like this. Can someone give me advice? I want to feel better. I want to sleep.

Perhaps you need to work a 12 step program with a sponsor. Sounds like you still need to make amends. Also, writing daily helps. I can not say enough positive things about the 12 step program-just be sure you find a good sponsor you feel comfortable with.

Have you tried spirituality or Christianity? Forgiveness, letting go, surrendering the hurt and the wrongs you've done, and looking for healing peace and meaning in something greater are all part of that.
Food for thought.
Also, a recent medical publication shows that meditating/praying 15min a day helps with stress levels.
