Insomnia....

[Megan]

I suffer from bad Insomnia. I haven't really slept in a year!
I only sleep because i take a sleeping pill. Otherwise I would be up all night. I'm angry and agitated 24/7. I no longer have a sleep/relax button. I always feel like I should be doing something...
I don't wake up refreshed. I wake up with an empty mind. like it's in a daze light state and all fuzzy and i don't know what to think about. When i do try to think i honestly get a migraine and very agitated which brings on the anger.

Any tips? I don't have a "safe place" and not interested in anything. no tv shows. I can't relate to any thing any more

The month before and the month after I got diagnosed with PTSD I felt the exact same way. Lately it's been better some nights, but still others... not so much. I slept on the couch two nights in a row this week to get away from noises on my street (out my bedroom windows). That really helped.

Here I am now though... can't fall asleep. Usually I can get lost in the murmur of a TV show playing on my computer, but it's not working right now :notworthy: :sleep: :notworthy: :alien: :eek:

I wish the murmur of the computer would put me to sleep but it just aggitates me to high heaven. :(. I have tried milk, tea, a warm bath (that's highly not relaxing)...so i gave up. I gave up READING looong time ago - if you can't picture the scenes in the book, then the book becomes just basicly words that don't mean shit. :(. THrough out my life i loved reading even if i read the same book 2-3 times i could always picture the scenes in my head, but now i don't have any imagination to fall back on any more and it sucks. I was the creative one in the family. Always saw things differently. Then one day my brother comes up to me and says "Do you know you're Different?" OmG that totally made me loose it because I have put up with his crap for years and he thinks he's more mature but he's not.

Anyway i went off topic... Sleep is not my fortay these days.
tried everything so i leave it up to Melatonin 10mg.
