It's gonna be a long day
« on: March 22, 2012, 07:46:22 AM »
I'm back to work today and I've had yet another restless night with hardly any sleep.  I hate the night.  I struggle to get to sleep because my stupid brain can't switch off to all the crap going round and round in my head.  I lay awake every night for so long trying to get so many thoughts out of my head.   It's ridiculous.  I then worry about the little amount of sleep I'll get before my 12hr shift at work and dread how tired I'll be the next day and how I'll cope with trying to put a brave face on things so my colleague doesn't worry about me. 

All I want is just one night where my head will hit the pillow and I'll be off to the land of nod without crying myself to sleep and worrying over nothing.  I don't want to keep waking up ten times a night and lay there fretting over stuff. I want a proper rest so I'm not tired the next day and I've actually got some energy to get things done. 

The days of waking up with a smile on my face seem to be long gone.  I wake up these days with a feeling of dread and all I want to do is pull the covers back over my head and shut the whole world out so I can be left alone in peace.

You have used the one word that I use when I am bad 'dread' its the only word that fully describes how I feel when I am down.

 &*( for you and I hope your day at work goes ok.

I can relate to that, especially the dread. I dread going to bed as I can't sleep and dread the days.

For you  &*( &*(

I can really identify with what you've written.

I think you need to go back to your GP and get your medication changed. The mental health team changed mine because they realised that me not sleeping was making me feel even worse, so now I'm on an AD which makes me sleep too.

Hi you need something to take away the anxiety and you need some rest.


bugger all the self help, get some meds to at least give you the stamina to move on during the day and lets hope you get a good nights kip.

Harmful intentions
particularly those involving deliberate acts exploitation, seem to cause longer-lasting and more painful emotional consequences than natural disasters. The crucial factor may be that such experiences destroys people’s trust in others, particularly if they involve someone you have depended on.
