#Awake or asleep?
anyone experience sleeping but your mind roaming elsewhere and you'll be surprised to find out it's already morning?
what's the best way to handle this?

Hi! Cecilia, I'm new to the group 😊
I struggle with nightmares and several awakes during the night, also usually having a hard time falling asleep (and falling asleep again).
It's been some years I've been struggling with severe thirst (some sort of dehydration, but the causes are still unknown) which worsen the nightmares and makes it more difficult for me to sleep for a decent amount of time and/or sleep it well.
There's also my last post on my profile explaing parts of this: didn't want to copy it and paste it ~
To anyone willing to talk and share, I'm here!

Ugh I am awake and already worrying about what today will bring. I have a doctors appointment and expect that my anxiety will be high because doctor’s offices do that to me. Not looking forward to high anxiety and the exhaustion that will likely follow. Anyone have anything interesting to share? Inspirational, funny, etc.?? I could use the distraction.
Perhaps we have it backwards! My life undulations to rhythm all its own and I'm along for the ride, I can't control it I can only ride it. What I mean is I don't make the sun come up yet it does.
My body told a story all its own, out of my control, 18 minutes of release of pure energy. This awakening awoke me. Since then I have enjoyed all types of therapies and the holistic ones are awesome. I mean the heat from reike, the energy flow activation from cranial sacral, the frontal lobe awakening from neurofeedback and more... all have shown me my vessel is on sea of life undulating to an unknown rhythm. So, when we are perceived to be this or that it's nothing more than a prisoner staring at the wall in Socrates allegory of the cave.
I trust myself, I let myself be vulnerable and I recognize the energy of life. I'm becoming intune with the world, I see all the chaos of the ego.
Let me explain: epigenetics is the transference of the ego from one generation to the next and it will do anything to continue existing. Perhaps this is why we do or say things that aren't us, because they aren't. It's the ego trying to patch up the holes in the cave to not allow the truth to be known. Now I'm not certified by the state to make such declarations I am certified by my own experiences. Ponder this: why are you doing what you are doing? Why do you live in a world dictated by people who say humans have control of an object existing in a vacuum spiraling around the sun spiraling through space, I mean the absurdity is confounding, yes we can do things better but I think the forces in play are little more powerful than out perceptions- we are limited by the knowledge we think we have.
In thus new beginning of awareness share your thoughts, not your reflective appraisal voice, your voice, give it some thought and go with it.
Really trying to cherish it, but life has other plans. Seems the sand man missed me tonight 😋🥱

I just want to sleep! But I have tintis and it's driving me mental. So instead I'm snuggled on the couch in my blanket with a hat on watching re-runs of the bill. :') #Deafness #wideawakeclub #Awake #Sleep #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder #MentalHealth
First time poster- longtime reader here to vent... I am feeling the major anxiety that comes with knowing you are about to spend the next few hours alone combined with not being able to pull off a normal night of sleep? It’s the hardest time for me to be alone and seems like my brain is hijacked by some neurotic and needy jerk. I tend to always have the same ideas that go through my head: nobody cares and I deserve to suffer. Then I usually spend a few hours online backtracking my boyfriends social media activity (not my style and shady af). And then my tired head always finds something to totally over analyze, misinterpret or assume the actual worse; whether from a single like on a girls iG page he works with; to a political comment on Facebook from an ex: it’s a self-saboteur mission because I’m only looking for proof he doesn’t love me.
I am scared this jealous, obnoxious, immature behavior is driving him away but it’s not enough to stop me from my own private, ongoing investigation. I have never been this type of person and I hate it.
As I prepare for tonight’s solitaire mind games I am going to attempt to focus on loving myself and attempt to harness my racing thoughts and turn them into positive ideas vs. my biggest fears/“what-if’s”. I am not sure HOW TO DO THIS? Ideas? New bf? Runaway? Just Coetzee first before I catch him? JK! Kinda??? Anyone else relate to this?
Feeling my midnight madness- a huge rush of energy. Just in time (of course!) as he falls asleep now- oh boy. So the pic: I imagine inside my head would look like this if I had to illustrate. The Indians are my “crazy” thoughts that I am anticipating will storm my brain for the next 6-10 hours. #ObsessiveCompulsiveDisorder #ADHD #PTSD #BipolarDepression #Selflove #selfsabotage #Relationships #ChronicFatigue
Did some exercises before bed. On the physical side, yes there was soreness, but it felt good in a way. I stated thinking about how in some ways we may try to cancel out pain in one area by inflicting pain in another place. My body is sore, but I’m not focused on my negative thoughts at the present moment. But the bad side of pain for me is that sometimes I feel like I need to put myself through pain in certain situations. I don’t think I’m doing enough unless it gets to a point where it’s painful. I will never understand why I do this, but I do. #Upallnight #Awake #Exercise #Depression #MentalHealth #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth #Pain #Soreness
