Any tips on dealing with insomnia due to pressure of green card? I’ve tried melatonin (doesnt work) I’m seeking medical attention but more so looking for experience share

Context I’m in a stressful position at work, where I’m still waiting on the perm for my EB3. Over the next few months my job will get very intense and I could risk being put on performance watch etc - I’m worried of losing the progress on my green card, having to find a new employer and going through these stresses again.

I’m sorry to hear that you’re going through this. I understand the feeling, and I’ve been there myself. The only thing that helped me was accepting that it’s beyond my control and that I can’t change it. The only thing I can control is to do a good job with integrity and to be there for my family, who is more important than this situation. Second, I believe in myself and know that I can build my life anywhere and everywhere. Having said that, prepare financially so that, in the worst case scenario, you can support your family for a few months, etc.

I don’t have any advice but just wanted to say it is helpful to know other ppl feel the same. I’ve been so stressed about my immigration process and the overall situation in the country. To make it worse my bf is kind of a polite anti-immigrant and has zero empathy, it makes it feel even worse. It doesn’t prevent me from sleeping, but kinda make it so hard to enjoy life, I feel like I’m constantly in a bad mood, miss having someone close that understand my deepest fears… anyway, just venting haha

I tried Unisom it’s over the counter — it did work. You aren’t supposed to take it for more than 1-2 weeks on a recurring basis. It helped — keep in mind these types of ingredients are known to cause dementia as. along term effect if you depend on it for too long
