How Did You Sleep Last Night?

Greetings

Another work session done, now to transition to days.

Now I have to find an avenue of suppor...

Consider therapy and/or meds? Honestly by the time I started meds things were really bad and I needed the meds to even relax enough to talk about what's going on. I am taking lower dose meds and I am very happy. I think without them things would be much worse than they are. I wish I had taken them and done therapy before I let things get so bad.
Though I do think that meds without therapy aren't as effective, meaning they will help while you're taking them...but you're solving the result, not the issue. So it can reappear again. Get as much help and support as you can. It's okay to get help, it can only be good for you. Just find a therapist that is good and makes you feel comfortable and heard.

Not so great. I started taking about some tough things in therapy. Now I have to try to fall asleep for hours. After that I sleep for a long time(9-10h regularly) but I constantly have either nightmares or mixed dreams with people I know from different time in my life, problems I have in the present and so on...And then I wake up feeling like I haven't slept enough. After that I'm so fatigued I take nap during the day...and wake out of it in panic and gasping for air...
Honestly I think a lot would improve if I can get better quality sleep.

I didn't sleep much and I cried a lot when I woke. Now I'm exhausted and don't want to do anything.

Pretty much like shit, been having nightmares again recently

I slept very well last night and no bad dreams either, nor is my head and neck tense at all.

Woke up early and feeling sorta bad recently

I slept lousy last night. Was mysteriously wired from a food reaction.

Well, it was a mess, but I was hallucinating and hurt myself accidentally, probably trippedover something and fell, since my knuckles and foot are bleeding badly.

Quotes that describe my sleep:

I go to bed wide awake, and wake up tired

At night I can't sleep, in the morning I can't wake up

3 out of 4 voices in my head want to sleep.... the 4th wants to know if penguins have knees

I think tossing and turning at night should be considered exercise

I wish I could sleep but my mind kicks in and basically: one sheep, two sheep, cow, turtle, duck, ol' McDonald had a farm, heeeey Macarena!

Am I the only one who calculates how much sleep I can possibly get, before I go to bed?

Crazy nightmares, same motifs as I've been having recently, slept from about 2:30am to 4pm, unable t...

That is exactly how I taught my nephew to take control of his nightmares. It is also the same that I use in that type of dream. However, I don't have an escape from my nightmare of being tangled in the wreckage of a sinking boat. I'm glad to see someone else uses the flying escape from nightmares. If anyone should any ideas about my drowning in wreckage nightmares and how to try to escape them I'd be glad to hear them. The others, I'll just keep working on too.

This week I have not been able to get to bed before 4, 5 or 6 am. I hear my husband get up and then try to be quiet and go to bed. I slept 5 hrs today to catch up from 3 hrs the day before and 4 hrs day before that.

Just don't want to go to bed. No reason. I'm freezing with the heat turned down.

I just read the internet and get obsessed on some topic and time flies.
