Sucks Waking Up.

[JDGarza]

It really sucks waking up feeling so down. I’m really tired of waking up every day feeling the same way. I just want to feel better, but nothing I can do except keep taking my medication and just try and cope and manage the best way I can.

i THINK i UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE SAYING. It is Hard, been thru it so many times. just got out of hospital after 10 days. My offer is from my experience , I was a mess when I went in. Improved when I came out. Seems to me a LOT of money needs to be spent on figuring out how the brain works, as you know it is different in everyone and can be 2 or 3 things in each brain?!!! I think I was conceived with a faulty brain, think I inherited it from my Father (not looking for someone to blame), seems a lot of it is genetic. So it makes it a battle for us. Mine has been an on/off torment since my youth, finally I found a great psych. Dr. who diagnosed me in 2000 as Bi-Polar 11. (never heard of it). So to all you people out there, and a follower or two I offer this: First thing: Find a qualified psychiatrist. Be willing to learn about med's. check them out for yourself for side affects, cost, etc., Ask to be put on a low dose to try out for a few days, some of these drugs are deadly. Some come in samples. The Drug industry is making a fortune. I resent being given 30 day trial for $167.00 to find out it is not good for me - so throw it out (not in toilet or garbage). Living on S.S. I do not have that kind of money to throw away.

Find anything and everything of quality to read, I have some Great Books. Go on line, visit your local library. I know it is not easy to do when going thru a down spell, yet I was able to read good info, it was a bit like food for me. Now I am home and having trouble finding a psych.Dr. the one I had, took ill and retired. So I have my work cut out for me. One more challenge - Damn!!!

I hope this is of use to you, and anyone else who cares to read it. To my friends Sprinkle 1 has returned, Not as good as I would like to be, but getting there - One more time!!!!

Send to you ALL Love & Hugs, Peace and strong will.

When I wake up feeling like that, I immediately go to the shower, play nature sounds in the background on my phone, and close my eyes while the water runs down from head to toe. I picture myself under the rainfall I hear. I visualize the birds I hear. I use essential oils or herbs for aromatherapy and smell the rain forest. I imagine the stress, anxiety, or bad feelings washing off and going down the drain. Took some time to convince myself for it to work, but practice helped. I hope it helps for you too. 🤗

I know exactly what you mean. I wish I could just go to sleep forever. It’s like that movie ground hog day for me. I go to sleep with a positive outlook for the next day, only to wake up to dread and doom. My body and mind are beginning to get wore down to where I don’t feel like I have much fight left in me.

Sorry my reply is not more positive for you. I know this can be overcome, I just haven’t figured it out yet. Starting with a shower is a great idea as per the above reply. As for me I do not have access to a shower upon waking every morning. When I am home I do, but most of my time is spent in a truck going down the road. Sounds like I’m feeling sorry for myself. And maybe I am. This type of work has been good to us in getting the kids raised. I’m just tired and burnt out now though.

Best wishes for you to start feeling better.
