6 hours sleep. I feel like crap.

[Tiffanyy]

My heart is racing out of my chest, my head and eyes hurt. I'm so exhausted and anxious. Not sleeping makes my anxiety sooo much worse. It's impossible to sleep in my house, my brother comes in around 2am and keeps me up because he's drunk and loud. He watches movies loud on his phone. So I finally fall asleep around 6 am and then woke up around 11am. I couldn't get back to sleep because my mom was up then being loud and kept talking to me. I kept pleading with her 'to please be quiet, that I didn't sleep'. She knows I don't always sleep well. I got an hour more sleep from 230 pm to 330 pm. I wish I got one more hour but once again she woke me up talking to me then a neighbor came to the door. Ugh I'm not going to get anymore sleep. It's so frustrating. I get no respect or consideration. They all know my anxiety problems and that I need sleep. I could really use some support right now.

Have you tried taking an OTC sleep aid? You can safely (I believe) either try the Benedryl type....or....Unisom... You could give it some thought.... It helps a lot of people to relax...especially if its mixed in with Tylenol...which is a very mild relaxant... Good luck to you.

No, I don't take anything because I don't like too. It scares me and that stuff usual hurts my stomach which adds to my problems. Plus, I think even if I took something to help me sleep, I would still get woke up and then I'd feel just as worse and groggy. Drugged. Idk.. im just going to try to make it through the day and hopefully get sleep tonight. It's only 5 pm. I have hours to go, I don't want to fall sleep too early and wake up in the middle of the night. Why's sleep have to be so hard haha. Thank you for replying. I really appreciate it.
