NO SLEEP FOR ME

[GENGR]

SOMETIMES I CAN SEE ALL THE THINGS I NEED 2 DO AND THEN I STILL SHUT DOWN BECAUSE IT JUST SEEMS LIKE SO MUCH. ANYBODY EVER FEEL LIKE THAT?

[Smellycat123456]

Hi gengr, I'm feeling the same right now. I'm hurting because I have so much to do, I want to sleep and get up early to get it done but my wheels keep turning.

[GENGR in reply to Smellycat123456]

I DO THE SAME EXACT THING. GO 2 SLEEP EARLY OR TRY 2 BUT IT DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK OUT THAT WAY. NOT EVEN CLOSE. MIND KEEPS RACING. I DON'T KNOW WHAT 2 DO...

[Smellycat123456 in reply to GENGR]

I've been trying YouTube's sleep sounds, I tried a few till I found one that's really helping me but right now I'm really stressed. I have problems letting go of things

[GENGR in reply to Smellycat123456]

DEFINITELY TRIED SLEEP SOUNDS BEFORE AND MUSIC AND EVEN COUNTING. SMH. I'M TRYING NOT 2 THINK ABOUT THE THINGS THAT WENT WRONG AND ARE CONTINUE 2 GO WRONG. IT'S NOT EASY AT ALL...

I hear you, I give it to him above everyday but my problems still need to be tended to, I pray 50 times a day and it helps me get through my day and I try to go to church every day. I have a list of problems and I'm overwhelmed by them and I have trouble getting sleep but when I do I sleep 12 to 14 hours and the day passes me by.

Do you have a happy place.

Can I bore you to sleep. Lol.

Or we can just cry together till we fall sleep.

[GENGR in reply to Smellycat123456]

I SLEEP LIKE THAT. LIKE I'M TIRED A LOT AND SOME DAYS I HAVEN'T EVEN DONE ANYTHING. JUS TRYING 2 GET UP IS SO EXHAUSTING. MY HAPPY PLACE WOULD B BY WATER JUS WATCHING THE RIPPLES. YOUR NOT BORING ME AT ALL. I CAN UNDERSTAND THE OVERWHELMING PART SO VERY MUCH...

[Smellycat123456 in reply to GENGR]

Ooo yes the water. I used to live on the beach in Corpus Christi and that was one of the best time of my life. I want to go back one day but I'm waiting for my daughter to get older, she's only 8 now and she needs her daddy. Me and my ex wife grew up without a father and we don't want our daughter to go through that.

[GENGR in reply to Smellycat123456]

I LOVE CORPUS AND THAT IS USUALLY WHERE I END UP 2 SIT AND THINK AND FIND A HAPPIER TIME. YOUR LIL 1NE DEFINITELY NEEDS HER FATHER. 1 STEP AT A TIME AS I ALWAYS SAY. BREAK THAT CYCLE. SOUNDS LIKE YOU ARE THO. AWESOME JOB...

[Smellycat123456 in reply to GENGR]

There is a church by the bay where I sit and pray for happiness. I have family there and I visit at least once a year.

It was really nice talking to you tonight and I hope that we will have a chance to talk again. I'm going to close my eyes and think about the water there in my happy place.

Good night sweetheart, I wish you beautiful dreams.

[GENGR in reply to Smellycat123456]

OF COURSE WE WILL. I TEND 2 STICK AROUND SOMETIMES. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND I SHOULD FOLLOW SUIT ON THAT SLEEP THING MYSELF. SWEET DREAMS 2 YOU AS WELL AND ENJOY THAT HAPPY PLACE...

When I feel like I can't concentrate to get things done I sit down and make a list. I did this for quite a few years actually. Then after I did somehting on the list I checked it off. It was great feeling to have found a solution. Maybe you could try that. It might not work for everyone but you could try it.. peace.

Have you tried wearing a sleep mask when you go to bed? A lot of times I don't sleep much because of my physical pain, but before getting a sleep mask I'd also lay awake all night worrying about everything. With the mask on it won't allow me to open my eyes, so it seems to make it much easier for me to be able to shut my worry, and anxiety down, and be able drift off to sleep easier. Good Luck.

Rather than thinking ALL the things that need to be done, can you atleast attend to do ONE of those things..try..I know it's hard but try one atleast..just go and do that one thing..it may get the ball rolling..
