sleep

couldn't sleep 1/2 the night cuzza dentist appointment 2day

I just shared a post and it totally disappeared. 🤯😤😡

did not appreciate.

has this happened to you bf?

i don’t want to be an ostrich- who has no inkling of what is going on around him- just had to blurt this out..

but in the end- if this is my plight/is it the worst thing? Maybe after all I have gone through- $$$$$$$ drs.( baptism by fire) but o am alive and still doing fine!! I have a good life!

life Is good 👍

Anyone have the solution.... I can't sleep at night. Can't even close my eyes... I feel like someone is there and also if i close my eyes it'll kill me or harm me. It's night.. So nobody hears me if i scream. I need a touch of my closest person while sleeping. Then I'll get sleep. But if I'm alone i can't sleep... 😭 #Sleep #sleepanxiety

Well, I rested. Could not sleep. Hope I can get through the day. Having my coffee— happy time for me. My sister w stage 4 pancreatic cancer says this morning time w her coffee is her gratitude coffee time.
I really enjoy my coffee ☕️ 😍

Want to wash the blinds today in the bedroom. Listen to church again possibly and watch the Super Bowl tonight!!

Just my husband and me; we are typically alone. 😞. This can get very lonely. But I am not going to worry about that today.. I am going to have a good day!!

Have fabulous today everyone!! Best..

Hi everyone,

Lately I’ve been getting better sleep and titrating off medications. The sleep hygiene game is dialed in and doing WAY more than I expected to help BUT I’m transitioning to some basic supplements that are having a massive good impact on getting back to normal. So just wanted to share.

I’ve added two forms of magnesium and gaba plus glycine and whoa! It’s been very relaxing and helpful. I’m falling asleep fast and staying asleep. Not perfect yet but will update here.

Let me know if you’ve tried any of these and if you’d like more details.

Stay strong insomniacs! ❤️

We need sleep but it hurts to lay down, it hurts to stand, it hurts to sit. If you lay on your back your si joints are going out of place, your side and your shoulders, hips and knees go out, your stomach and it’s your neck and shoulders!!! Very frustrating and so very tired and hurting so bad. I just want to sleep for longer than 3 or 4 hours at a time. #bendy #HEDS #Sleep #sotired #Everythinghurts

I love having someone who understands my brain, but it's so hard sometimes too. I am on hour 5 of resisting compulsively texting her, after receiving a barrage of compulsive texts from her and two compulsive calls. She knew what was happening and was trying really hard to resist, and I think she was eventually successful. But I am still having wave after wave of what-ifs about her safety. Logically I know she's probably asleep, but of course that does nothing for the doubts. For hour one I just handwrote a journal entry to her, and I thought that did it, but the compulsion keeps coming back. I wonder if I should just throw myself fully into an exposure session and try to speed up the process of no longer feeling like trash, but it's so late and I should have been asleep an hour ago (dr appointment, office hours, and lab meeting tomorrow, good lord), so maybe I should just rawdog it until I fall asleep. When the thoughts are so bad that I keep involuntarily hyperventilating for short periods, I don't know if an exposure would help or hurt.

I have however come up with a fun strategy: pretending that her compulsive texts are actually attempts to type out whale vocalizations. It removes the focus from the content of the messages and makes it easier for me to resist reassuring her and instead do/say things that are actually helpful (which is sometimes doing nothing). It's hard when it's relationship OCD-related, like today, because I automatically want to take it seriously and personally, but the silliness of imagining that all those texts are just like OOOOOoooaaauauuuuUu whale noises does kind of help.
