Aquarius7 Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Well here I am again. Almost 7:00 AM and I have not been to bed! I think that staying up is keeping me from facing the loneliness of being without my Mom. Life itself is very lonely without her. I can't take it! My whole life feels and is different. I stay up almost all night every night. I don't know why. I am just in such shock from it all. It has been 8 months and still nothing. I don't feel much better and nobody I know seems to understand just how horrible this loss has been for me. I hardly talk to my siblings anymore and will continue to do so less and less because of the way they have been through this whole ordeal. They are trying to act like they care about me, but I am not buying it. I won't get started about it. But anyway, I think I have insomnia. Losing my Mom (and the house we lived in) is simply unbearable. I can't take it anymore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nicholas Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Me too, so my GP prescribed sleeping tablets & I also take tranquilizers. Don't feel ashamed or anything about asking for medication to help, it is far better than exhausting yourself by not sleeping. If you absolutely refuse medication, there are also natural remedies such as valerian, passiflora, lemon balm, etc, plus listening to calming tapes/CDs may help too. You are not alone!

BellaRosa Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Aquarius7, I have trouble sleeping sometimes, too. It's weird because sometimes all I want to do is sleep, and other times I'm tossing and turning until the early hours of the morning. Just wanted to let you know that you're not the only one!

niamh Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 I'm with you too,I fall asleep before bedtime no problem but when it's time it like my brain wakes up and goes into overdrive. Wish I had the answers i think I'm just kind of used to it now.mornings are hard to get up for work and weekend mornings I can't sleep in,it's all just topsy turvy. I'm sorry Aquarius sending you big ((hugs)) Niamh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
