Pain and Insomnia

What do you do when something is so heavy on your mind and heart that you can't even sleep? When the thought of what's bothering you makes you literally sick to your stomach and you toss and turn from fetal position to fetal position? How do you calm your spirit to rest when you're in so much emotional pain? Now these questions aren't rhetorical. I really would like to know what others do to get beyond a feeling like this. The feeling of helplessness and hopelessness. The feeling of not knowing how to fix everything. The downright desparation for things to go right and stay right. I'm really at a loss and I'm stressing when I feel I can be feeling better and more at ease.

I've heard that meditating is one of the best things to do. However, I have a problem with that. Let me know if I'm not the only one but, I have a hard time beginning to relax myself enough to even ease my mind to meditate. The things that are bothering me are bouncing around my head so much that I literally can't think straight. I constantly digress within my own thoughts and become even more annoyed with myself that I can't meditate. Any ideas? I'm sure I'll be awake to hear them because I have a couple of doozy's affecting me at this current point in time. Its like I want the pain to put me to sleep or something. Like I need enough alone time to cry out all of my worry and start fresh. But for me that's very difficult as well. Right now I'm restless and emotionally stranded. And all I want is a better way to cope with what I'm unable to cure. Smh.
