My Sleep

Status
Not open for further replies.
I quit listening to the music from my past, because it always brought up so many feelings. I have started to listen to piano music and some classical.

I have to have earphones in at night or I hear every sound in the area. I've tried to sleep without them, and it doesn't work very well.

I hope you find something that helps.
 
I'm lucky if I get 4 hours of sleep; I actually HATE going to sleep (I know it sounds weird :) ) because I'm afraid that something will "happen". I'm afraid of the dark, and someone coming out of it, and taking me away, and I look at ALL the dark corners of my room, and I pull the covers over my head, and I'm afraid to even touch something in the dark; as a child, I was NEVER afraid of the dark, but now I'm nervous to be by myself, and I'm 22 for God's sake! It's ridiculous, I know, and I believe it's part of the depressive symptoms I have; When I get up in the morning my body hurts, and it's the hardest part of my day to get up out of bed, because (ironically enough) despite me not liking to go to sleep, when I actually AM asleep, it's almost impossible to get myself up, because I'm in a state of unconsciousness that I don't want to break for ANYTHING, because coming to, could mean seeing something, or SOMEONE over me....I don't know it's just stupid :poop:....

I am so grateful to have my dogs sleep with me (when my H is away), there leaning against me, watching and keeping me safe feels so nice. When I do start to nightmare, they are there waking me and comforting me.[/quote]
