My mind is everywhere

[Cloud81]

Uggh it's so frustrating when you can't stop thinking. I have sooooo many thought going all at the same time I can't see to concentrate. I'm having a hard time trying to focus on 1 thing. I can start 1 thing then I think of something else move on to that then go back to the 1st thing then think of another things and be all over the place. Not only is doing several things at the Same time is overwhelming but thinking of several different things at the same time and it's non stop. It's so bad to the point I don't really sleep at night so I'm suffering from insomnia I have to take meds to help me sleep. I want to shut it all off but I can't 😭 and it's driving me crazy. 😭😭

Hi there cloud welcome to insomnia Central I think most people can sympathise with you about several thoughts at the same time are you a lot of the time drinking tea or coffee can make you awake also playing with a phone can make you awake! If you are still suffering insomnia after medication it might be time for you to visit your doctor and tell him you are still struggling to sleep! Are you suffering from anxiety and depression and are you getting treated for it if so you may need your medication changed I hope you get help soon take care david

Hey David,

Thanks for your message. Yes I suffer from anxiety and depression but I'm seeking help for both. I just wish my mind would calm down long enough to have a simple thought not 5 plus all the time. It very frustrating trying to organized my thoughts especially when I'm trying to think of 1 thing and several other things come floating in. 😞 I'm on meds for my insomnia at first it work great I actually got at least 6 hours of sleep. That lasted a few weeks so my doses was increase not doing much good. I'm working on 4 hr of sleep every day. No more sometimes less. It's time to get my meds change 😩 #teamNOsleep.

Hi again thanks for getting back to me as I don't always find out how someone is getting on! You've definatley been dealt a rough card as in your health is a concern to you if you don't mind what is is you take for your insomnia my doctor is not very good about giving out sleeping tablets incase you become used to them which is rich because they had my wife on zopiclone 7.5mg for several years then just stopped them which was hard to watch her struggle with out them! The only thing they will give me is diazepam 2mg which is not that great! I sitting her and it's 5:58am and I'm up at 9am wish I could sleep but will sleep later on today's I suppose! Take care All the best david
