I suffered from insomnia for the last two nights and this little kitty was lying right next to me, making biscuits on my arm, trying to calm me down. Such a little angel! His name is Mattie. #Fibromyalgia #Arthritis #EssentialThrombocythemia

Days when Appetite is lost, Insomnia creeps in- wait I’ve taken my meds consistently, so why?! The oval, or rectangle, or triangle, or circle …or..whatever shape to navigate your highs and lows and I call it neutral state but recently have discovered it’s also called baseline. Oohhhh the sweet Bitterness of Baseline. I’m bored. I’m not hypomanic, nor depressed just — flatlined. I don’t feel here nor there. Just content. I refer to it as “going through the motions” and at least I’m not doing X,Y,Z - right?! In this space of Baseline I sit. I fully give into the Stillness of Nothingness. Salt lamp is always on, sometimes white candles are lit, sometimes Nag Champa is burning. Heck if I’m lucky I’ll blog or journal! Wow! Those are the good baseline days. How do you cope with the waves within your shape? What brings you joy within your baseline or “neutral” days?

Hi, my name is Velvet. I'm hehe because I am a survivor of long-term domestic abuse, violence and coercive controlling relationship.
Unfortunately, I was not able to access the support I needed since I left my ex-partner and the emotional and psychological impacts have been significant and overwhelming in my life. I struggle with anxiety, sleep/eating issues, insomnia, daily functioning, and feelings of insecurity.

If you are like me, you might struggle to fall asleep and stay there. It is a pure challenge for me, as I have worked to figure out why it happens. I am unable to figure out why. It is as if something of someone wakes me up, and it takes an effort to go back to sleep.
.I know that sleep is important, but a large part of me wishes I did not have to sleep. I always felt that way. I experienced insomnia for many years. #Insomnia and #Anxiety have always held hands with one another at night. While it takes a bit to sleep, it also takes a bit to handle my #Emotions to calm myself before I sleep.
Anyway.
I am going going to try and sleep again. Thank you all for listening.
Love,
Vally

Hi, my name is MamaFrog. I'm here because I was diagnosed with: Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, IT Band Syndrome, Insomnia, Narcolepsy, and depression between 15-17 years ago. In the last 10 years, I have been diagnosed with: Sjogren's Syndrome, Costrocondritis (inflammation of the fascia over/under/around the chest wall...this feels like a heart attack. In my case, this climbs around my whole chest wall, up into the whole neck, jaws, and into both ears.), chronic headaches, arthritis (in my whole back, neck, with lower bone spurs in my pelvic region). Not to exclude the bulging disc between my shoulder blades, and disgenerative disc disease. I know... I'm a total mess ( my husband tells me this frequently! 🤣🤣)!! I take WAY too many medications (including 30mg Morphine 3 times a day) just so that I can function (ie. move my body without much pain, think clearly, sleep, stay awake all day, etc ...😬😱😭). I have many books on most all of my chronic illnesses, and keep mostly up-to-date on medical testing/discoveries involving my "issues". Today is Easter Sunday (HE HAS RISEN!!), and it's been a tough day for pain/movement/ cognizance/memory and it's not even noon yet!! I hope you, that are reading my ramblings, are ALL in a great place today and everyday!!! Gentle Hugs! 🤗 ❤️

This is now my third night without sleep and my hallucinations are worsening every night - making it too scary to close my eyes.
I see him when I'm awake and when I'm asleep and am not sure how much more of this I can take!
Was due to start therapy sessions but Landlord has evicted me (as he wants to sell the property), so therapy has been withdrawn until I'm more settled.
Life just feels vicious at the moment!
