Sorry Boys.. Hope for you to sleep as always.. I think I will be awake to, as My head is so stuffed up! Even when I used to sleep, if my head was stuffy, sleep was out of the question.. Hugs you both.. I hope your rest brings sleep and dreams your way... Maybe in the form of tall Blonde nursies... LOL
so Neil how do u cope with a life struggling to sleep?....im off work today feeling awful due to lack of sleep.....do u work?
i really feel for you...I really struggle to cope and at the moment seriously struggling, im in my 20's and have been suffering for 6 years now...no idea how i managed to get my degree and the fact that im still working and sane baffles me as its sooo difficult!!people dont realise how hard it is...its so hard to get motivated, or care about anything when u dont sleep even if it is something that your normally passionate about, having to wake up in the morning and go to work is soo hard, im actually thinking whether i want to continue working coz doind 9-5pm is close to impossible for me...even tho my manager has been pretty good about it...but still feel awful about not being able to get to work on time.I hate feeling stupid....i struggle to think , understand things, answer relatively easy questions at work, feels like evrythings working against you!!...the worse thing is everytime i plan things i end up having to cancel coz im too tired and just not in the mood....i try not to plan anything now rather than having to let ppl down all the time.yes ive seen the docs number of times...just the gp....and they dont have a clue about insomnia , they just assume your depressed which im not...tried a number of tablets even tho i rarely use to take tablets...they referred me to a psych dept to have my case looked at but i didnt bother going thru with it as i feel this isnt my problem...had blood tests etc done a number of times and every time they come back perfect...which normally id be happy with but i desperately need a reason for why im screwed in the head!!in terms of what ive tried...well it'd be easier to list what i havent, u name it ive tried it....currently taking amityp...tabs which do work but have a major hangover effect which is worse than the insomnia itself...i wanna see a sleep specialist but docs dont have a clue abt who or where i can go...as for how i cope , very badly,,,completely understand when you talk about losing your temper, breaking things, wanting to hurt yourself...and having to fight all that is so hard!....its the time u have to kill every night which is also difficult...resort to the internet, tv...or a long drive at mad hours in the morning...foot down in your car helps!!only positive i can think of is when i do sleep well im on a high all day....its an amazing feeling, your head feels clear, your mind feels fresh and u feel nothingin the world can bring you down...but those days are few and far between....i wanna get rid of this insommnia its the worse thing ive had to cope with......sorry about the long post but its really getting to me at the mo hence the big whinge!!
