Insomnia

Hi, my name is binxy888. You can call me Binx or Binxy. I've been diagnosed with Epilepsy, Lupus, Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, Insomnia, Depression, Anxiety, and PTSD. I work as a director of programs at a major insurance company and own another company. I am a single mom of two teens. I spend most my time masking and hiding my conditions from people as most people do not understand chronic illness. It is very lonely and isolating. I am looking for people that are going through similar situations to relate to.

Hi, my name is amazonaddiction11963. I'm here because my husband lost his son 6 months ago, i lost my stepson, he was just coming back around to be a part of the family's life and we spent our 1st Christmas together last year. he was 36, my husband just saw him the night before may 30,25 and i got the phone call the next morning and had to call my husband with this devistating news. life has been so different, my husband doesn't talk about his son at all anymore, i literally just found out that his birthday is today 11/9, he would have been 37. I have tried everything i know to do, i have researched what to say what not to say, giving my husband space and letting him know however he needs to grieve, is ok, i am always here for him, i feel like i have also lost my best friend, my husband has different days, i can tell the anger days, bc i understand as a spouse i will get the brunt of it and im ok with that, i just wish i knew how to be more supportive. i was thinking of putting up a happy birthday banner and a few things out on the counter as a way to celebrate his birthday, but idk if this will be hurtful or a way for me to let my husband know that i still miss him too, and also a way to show support for my husband knowing today will be extremely hard as it is the 1st birthday without his son, knowing he cant ust pick up the phone and call him...any suggestions would be helpful

ADHD And Caffeine

Caffeine may provide temporary benefits for attention and focus in some individuals with ADHD. However, there is limited evidence to support its long-term effectiveness. Excessive caffeine consumption can lead to negative side effects that may worsen ADHD symptoms. Some examples include that it can cause increased anxiety and insomnia as well as interfere with ADHD. That is why it is important for people with ADHD to consult with a healthcare professional before using caffeine ADHD to determine the appropriate dosage and potential risks, as well as any potential sleep disturbances caffeine may cause.

Hi
Warning-
Nothing positive here. I just need to B*tch . Something abt putting my thoughts out to where other ppl may see them is a step above bitching to myself.
I feel like I hav no rt to complain. I feel hesitant to say anything at all. My daughter has ripped my head off abt me expressing my feelings to her- & now when i tread with trepidation around her, she verbalizes that i must hav PTSD from my sisters!!
This from the girl who literally screamed inches from my face- "Are u F*cking Crazy???!" Or "You're a self obsessed Narcissist"- me who spent my career in the helping fields.
This young woman who, after begging me to tell her if i ever felt suicidal- left me- after I mustered the ooomph to tell her I Was Suicidal, to go pour coffee at a Barrista job. This same girl who refused me sleeping on her couch when i was evacuated out of my home for 19 days due to Wildfires. This same girl who left me when I was afraid I might OD on some hash oil a friend had given me for insomnia. - when I was too messed up to move or use a phone- much less find a phone. This woman who threatened to leave me places, miles from home, never bothered to even call when i was stuck in 5 feet of snow in the mountains, with no heat for 12 days- this girl who has repeatedly stolen from me, gaslighted me, bullied me, lied about me- & destroyed the relationship between my son & I- THIS GIRL- Now suddenly loves her Mom????

I call BullShit- & just another set up to be kicked in the teeth.

She has destroyed my Family & very nearly Me- & she denies every last bit.

NOW she just had her 1st daughters birth. Of course I was there all thru it- but really it's the same old story-

It Hurts. & there are NO good answers.

Thanks to her, my son has nothing to do with me. He also gaslights & bullies if he's able.

As a Mom, I feel like I cant win. Anyone who hasnt been on the sidelines directly either Accuses me of being a. Monster Mom- or being a mealy mouthed Wallflower.

I assure you I am neither. But Im done defending or explaining myself to Anyone-

I dont know if the Gashing Wound thru my Heart- caused by my children's Cruelty, Indifference & lack of Love, Empathy or Concern will ever stop gushing Blood- much less heal.

AND NOW- the Ultimate Actress "doesn't remember" any of the truly horrific things she's said & done & wants to play "Devoted Daughter."

Well thing is, I DO Remember. The Wounds are still there. Some days it's hard to just breathe In & Out-

Like I said, nothin positive in my post today- but I just needed to "say it out loud" if u will- to somebody- AI, Virtual or whatever.

I got diagnosed with OCD too. I love and hate it here. I love it because they really want to help you and they understand your hardships without getting you to talk. But I hate it here, they removed my nights meds so I didn't slept for 4 days. Even with my meds I couldn't sleep well so... yeah

Next week they'll finally change all my meds. That aren't working I had them since earlier this year.

Anyways, the weighted blanket isn't weighted enough, I like the noise canceling headphones. I stay most of the time in my room, I don't like being with people other than my actual friends.

They won't let me go bring some stuffs like the other I don't know why. Next week I'll probably be able to if I'm not alone.

Sleeping is hard for me. My insomnia is really bad. I don't sleep at all. With my meds I sleep a little. I wake up a lot fearing that I'm back at my family's home, etc. I'm never relieved from my thoughts. they keep running and coming back. I'm the prisoner of my mind.
