Can’t stop crying.

Lately I have really been going through it and every minute of the day I feel like crying. It’s hard for me to hold back tears. I know my friends see that something is wrong with me. I feel like I’m completely losing myself. I need someone to talk to...I’ve never wish I disappeared more than now.

Dear Nobody - you sound as if you have completely lost your confidence and have been severely criticised by hurtful remarks. This has so affected you cannot control the tears. I guess half the tears are anger as well as grief. You must be exhausted, Are there any other health problems which make it difficult to keep control such as the flu, or lack of sleep? May be if you can talk about it - it might help ?

Lately I haven’t been able to sleep because I worry that if I go to sleep, the next day won’t be as good as the last or something. I’m not sick with any cold or flu.

Worries seem worse at night. I found after years of insomnia I had a sleep disorder and have to take a sleeping tablet. I have found information about melatonin production the sleep hormone to get a good nigh sleep. I try to cut down the light in the bedroom and keep it at an even temperature. Wearing bed socks sometimes helps people have a better night sleep along with a hot milky drink which contains natural opioids can help some people.

I have to go to bed late or I will be up wide a wake by three am. Since taking sleeping tablets, It has helped mental health. I know your anxiety and fear of the unknown not knowing if each day will be better or worse than before but sleep deprivation can increase your anxiety. May be you need something to help you sleep or a change in medication - or if you aren't taking any may be take a natural supplement for anxiety. Do hope you can find the right answer to this change in your sleep pattern and get good sleep back to help rest your mind to refresh you for the next day.

Have just been reading some tips about food that helps you sleep. In Healthy Eating

there is a post by Boyer Tryptophan is a precursor to sleep and encouraging sseratonin and melatonin hormones to help you sleep .Poultry meat fish and cheese, and egg eaten with carbohydrate such as bread or potatoes noodles etc can he;p you get off to sleep. Cream crackers and cheese, chicken sandwiches with milk contain tryptophan.

WE were told never to eat cheese before bed time as it is indigestible - but have found snacking before going to bed helps me, if not my figure. Hope you are feeling better.
