Ugh had some triggers come up around witnessing someones death and now i feel like im 5 again. Did some coping skills, called my sponsor, doing the things but my heart still feels like it will explode out of my chest. I work in 8hrs and still need to sleep. I hate everything. Any ideas for how to make my body relax enough to rest properly. Used to use tequila for this but im sober now and trying to do better than the old me wouldve.

I’m sorry you have to go trough this. Can’t imagine how it’s like to relive this. Maybe you can try a meditate app? The are free and have good breathing exercizes to relax and get stress down. They also have sleep meditation, maybe it helps!
I use the “insight” app.
Ps my compliments for asking for help by calling your sponsor and coming up here!!
