That all makes sense. Are you writing them on a paper journal? I had mine on the internet in a livejournal, so when I wrote it there it really was 'there' and the ability to close the webpage helped me to avoid dwelling on it. (Though admittedly there was times that I did.)
I'm proud of you for trying to stay positive - focus on that :) Can you maybe keep a paper journal with you about positive things? Writing down mindfulness skills that work for you, distraction techniques, reasons why you're working on getting better etc, good things you've done.
And like you, I like mindfulness when I'm trying to get to sleep too. I find it can be relaxing.
Let us know how you're doing, okay? I agree your CPN should hopefully be able to give you some more tips.
