I do SO sympathise with you.
The 3am panic attacks are truly dreadful.
The mind refused to be still but instead insists on playing an endless reel of What If’s and Doom and Gloom in full, glorious technicolour and with the sound at top volume.
I have probably paced the floor enough times to have cirumnavigated the globe and back during such sleepless sessions of fretting
But dawn always comes and the gremlins depart and I repeat to myself as often as is necessary
“Today is the tomorrow I worried about yesterday, and it didn’t happen”
Maybe I should embroider that and hang it above my bed, surrounded by snowflakes and roses?

Thank you for this post. It seems I’m not the only one who wakes in the middle of the night- w/ fears that may or may not rational. And thank you for introducing the term “monkey mind”– wonderful! how many people’s minds are in monkey-mode right now?
what was no surprise was Ray… there is something so profound about the depth of consolation a pet can provide. They really do have a kind of understanding and compassion that is beyond us. There are certain times when only a hug from my dog seems to be what can heal me.

I swear our pets understand us better than we understand ourselves. They’re there when we need them, that’s for sure.
I suspect, though, that I’ll lie awake tonight contemplating just what exactly “Monkey Mind” means for me…
