Re: Need some advice for a situation with my bf

Re: dyspraxia sleeping problem/fears...
You become fearful and dreading when you go to bed because you think the same thing is going to happen to and you always get more of what you focus on.The unconscious mind is monitoring everything you think so when you focus on images of staying awake the unconscious mind takes it as a command and h...
