No suggestions from me @greenpea , just understanding. I am still going thru hell and one of the horrible things is sleep. I absolutely dread going to bed every night. My mind is constantly racing and I just can't sleep. If I don't take sleep meds I do not get a wink of sleep the whole night, nothing. When I do take them, I get 3 hours sleep, they recently doubled the dose and thats still all I get. And that's not 3 hours of restful sleep, I have totally weird dreams, wake up in a panic hardly able to breath, it's just awful. I hope ur experience isn't as bad as mine. By the way, I picked up ur post as I was going back thru some email notifications of posts that had rly meant a lot to me and there was one there from u and I realised we hadn't connected for a long time so I checked out ur profile and picked up on this post. I hope u are doing well greenpea. Things have gone from bad to worse for me. I'm rly scared where all this is going to end up. 

Anyway, thinking of u and wishing u all the very best. Xx

@Doglover  Hey Doglover really happy to see your post but sad also that you are still having such a hard time of things. Was hoping maybe things were looking up for you at long last. Has been awhile since we have spoken but yes things happen and time gets away and everyone appreciates that we are all trying to get our lives back on track and there are many bumps in the road. Just know that I always read your posts and try to tick the support button even though I may not be able to write anything because am feeling so rotton. 

Thanks re sleep. Will take stupid sleeping pill again tonight but only half as I cannot afford to be out of it and I know what you mean about waking up and feeling you cannot breathe I got that last night and it was awful woke up 3 times with sleeping pill .... stupid meds.

Hi @greenpea & @Doglover  

Hope you got some sleep. I stumbled on this chart about sleep last week that might help. Sleep Hygiene is important, Its complex and not being dependent on sleepers is best. The antidepressant I've been on the last few years seems to help sleep, maybe, as I struggled much worse before. Not that I don't have bad nights. Like tonight we have noisy storms rolling throughout the night, literally every hour, and a furbaby who freaks out with storms all over me... :face_with_rolling_eyes: The important thing is not to get angry or anxious about it.  3.30 I gave up, got up, had tea & honey cinnamon toast, prayed for people, and found Jimmy Swaggart tv which... brings me much peace, and joy.  Its 5.30 and another storm has been rumbling through this last 20min, again 😏  "it is what it is"  hopefully I can catch up with a power nap or two through the day.  Deep breaths 💜🌷 

⚡SHEESH! now it's getting really loud :face_with_rolling_eyes: poor furbaby❣️

@Former-Member  Thanks EOR the chart is very helpful 😄 I will definitely try some of this advise out .... for example maybe not give up the coffee but cut down to a cup in the morning :). I wish we had some storms (I love storms - feel for your poor furbaby though :)xx) have just come back from walk and it sprinkled along the way which cooled us down with a nice breeze. 

Hope you get some cat naps throughout the day. love peaxxx
