Getting this little monster to sleep

I remember trying to count sheep when I was little and sometimes I just couldn’t sleep, not figure out why that didn’t work.

I have had insomnia for as long as I can remember, even since childhood. I can remember having trouble sleeping at night when I was young. How to get the little monster to sleep, that is the question; but so far I have no answer. It’s hard for me to quiet my mind, I have always been pretty sensitive and I don’t know how to let go very easily. My little monster is at a crossroads; spending most of her time in isolation because of the pandemic, dealing with depression since her dad’s final illness and death, coming to terms with her mom having had mini-strokes, plus her mom moving into Assisted Living. A recent job loss and difficulty focusing on her current projects. It’s overwhelming at times, but it’s hard for this little monster to talk about without being a bummer or a negative adult human. I am working towards finding a good way to deal with all of these things so that I can keep moving forward.
