How do I get some sleep?
For years now I've been getting real sleep every few days. Like now I've been up since two thirty this morning. I'm full of anger all the time, and for what I don't know. I have problems w/ pain,(mostly in my neck, and from severe rls), acid reflux to the point of wanting to throw up nightly and depression. It's gotta come from the lack of sleep. I've try'd all kinds of anti-depressants, talking about my problems w/ a theropist only makes things worse. I'm getting desperate. I don't want to become suicidal but I'm very close to the breaking point. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I went through an awful bout of insomnia, high anxiety, and panic attacks a few years ago. It was the worst period of my life, hands down. I knew there had to be a solution, so I went for a free evaluation at my local mental health care hospital. They admitted me to an Intensive Outpatient Program the next day and I spent the following 5 weeks getting the treatment I needed. I suggest you work with a good therapist who specializes in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or check out your local mental health resources. Most of them should give you a free assessment. If you happen to be in the Chicago area, I can highly recommend the program at the Alexian Brothers Behavioral Health Hospital in Hoffman Estates, IL. Their program changed me life! I now sleep 8 hours almost every night and only take sleeping meds on occasion.

Try melatonin .... Take omega 3 - 1000-2000mg a day, B vitamins, they all help with sleep and stress.
Get on a routine- bedtime same time every night. Relaxing music, hypnosis for sleep, ect.
See if that helps
