another night of sitting here feeling really tired yet not able to sleep. I’ve tried to shut off all the lights. As soon as I do that is when my mind starts to go into overdrive. Lights are now back on. I’m going to watch television to try and see if I can get some sleep in a little while.

I hope you can get some sleep. If not, there is always someone here.

It’s still relatively early yet, just before 1am here. Will give it a little bit longer and see what happens. Thank you both

I'm sorry. My provider says, if you can't sleep in bed after 20 minutes, get up and do something till you get tired enough to sleep. I live by it.

I've been tired enough to sleep for more than two weeks but nothing helps.

😔 I'm sorry. That's the worst.

Thank you. I called the NP this morning and asked for something to help. She called in a med that messed me up twice before! Ya, twice. She talked me into giving it a second chance. Don't these places keep records... Or don't they believe us?
