physically tired but can’t sleep

[just_keep_swimming]

I have not slept in like 24 hrs

Tomorrow is a big day for me and I need to rest

I don’t want to mess up tomorrow because of my sleep and being in physical pain

I keep thinking why me , why do I have to go through this . I know people have it worse than me but I’m struggling.

I know my pain may be worsened by my stress and that being stressed does not help but I just keep thinking why me . I am trying to breath and drink water and even watch shows to calm me down but it’s hard .

I’m usually a strong person and always put on a happy face even when I’m struggling but it’s been really hard for me.

I just need some words of motivation as I said tomorrow is a really big day for me and I can’t let my pain or tiredness hold me back .

Hi there it maybe to late but can you ask your doctor for something to calm you down is it to late to ask for more time to prepare for whatever your have got to do maybe if you explain maybe they maybe able to help you ,you may find things may turn out better if you ask I wish you well I hope all goes well !

I could ask my doctor about meds to calm me down, just don’t want to feel like I need those meds to help calm me down . Also I spiraled because I was in pain. I have tried many pain meds but nothing seems to help except addictive meds that can be given in a hospitals and I feel as though the things I’m doing for my problem don’t help sometimes . I think I must try to talk to my doctor again, I just feel like will I have to go through this pain the rest of my days and that’s hard for me . I wish I could reschedule it but I cannot it’s a tomorrow or never sort of deal .

if trouble sleeping is a regular thing melatonin may hope but most people don’t know how to take it. It isn’t a “sleeping pill “. It helps with your circadian rhythm. My cat keeps me up. She was turned over to the shelter more than once so I think that makes her clingy and makes me feel bad about putting her out of the room but sleep I must.

have had trouble sleeping because of the pain, but I’ll look into the melatonin , thanks !

In that case the effectiveness is probably dubious. Never know though. People have said benydryl is better than any med for sleep. probably doesn't help with pain. Also if THC is legal... hasn't that helped with pain under different circumstances? You would want to consult an expert because there are different strains but I have a cbd/thc mix that puts me to sleep with no morning ick. I only do it when I really need it.

never tried THC but I can look into it .

Ohh that sucks! Nothing worse than being sleep deprived and walking around like a zombie. I hope you're able to shake it off. I know, easier said than done. You can do this! Throw that ice water in your face and rock on!
