Dead to the world.

[Rubix123]

Sorry if the title seems a bit grim, by this I mean sleep is my demon it's my enemy... I have such a problem with sleep sometimes.... some times more than others! like tonight and for the past few weeks I haven't been able to get to sleep til 4am/5am..I just lay there from 12 or 1am wide awake, I don't drink coffee before I sleep... I have so much trouble in the morning trying to get up too.... In the morning from about 8am onwards til mid day I set an alarm but I never hear it and then when I wake I have pressed the alarm off on my phone but without knowing it also whenever I get a call ill have a proper conversation and ill know what saying but sometimes I don't even remember what I said or that I did have a proper call til I look back in my call logs.I wish to god I could just get to sleep.... I really feel like dying right now.... I feel so tired yet so awake and can't get to sleep.... I've tried to go for relaxing baths... I've tried to read books.. Do crosswords... Listen to soft music.... Nothing works.... I'm so nasty and shout whenever my mum tries to wake me.... Ill say horrible things and swear to get out when I don't know doing it. I think I need some advice what to do I feel like I'm going mad.

It sounds like you are depressed. I've been where you are before after break ups. Some days I lay in bed for 14 or more hours, other days I went 2 or 3 days without an hour of sleep. Your best bet is to talk to a shrink. However, the shrink may take a while to help you out and or perscribe you something. So, take some benadril or nyquil. That'll knock you out. That is what I use somenights when I get home from class at 11pm, eat dinner and am in bed between 12 and 1, and have to get up for work between 5 and 6am. If I'm lying in bed for more than 30 minutes and my mind is racing from the energy drink I drunk in class, or the dinner I just ate... then I'll pop a nyquil or two or a benadril. They work. However, see a shrink too, because you are also suffering from depression and either need a good talk or other meds. Also, if you feel like you are going to kill yourself call a suicide hotline! trust me, as someone who thought that way a few times after break ups, life gets better, girls come and go etc...
