Insomnia and depression

Thanks Roxie, I'll take a look. How have you been?

Hi Gerri, I'm waking up with much tiredness but it gets better when I move around and do stuff. It's an unfortunate about your husband behaviour. I really hope that you are taking care of yourself first and find some help. Living under abuse is a nightmare I really believe that your husband also needs to find someone to talk to, someone professional to help him. Have a great day, Gerri, hang in there ....you are in my prayers.

Yes you will always find someone who you could talk to and most of people are very nice and kind. 🙂

I have found (sometimes) that there is something in our life that is making us unhappy. Maybe in te past, maybe the present, maybe both. If so, we know what it is. I noticed I would do almost anything to keep from going to bed. I would saty up as late as 3 in the morning and play games, http://www.bigfishgames.com . I would go to bed and fight with insomnia and RLS (i still battle with the RLS) ad I stated thinking, Wht don't I want to go to bed? So this week, I started sleeping in the recliner, it's a real nice comfy one, old but good, and I am sleeping much better. I have 2 small poodles who sleep with me. So if I am happier on the reliner with 2 dogs crowding me, there is a problem. It takes some soul searching and checking and asking, What is in my life or was in my life that I don't like. If so, we try to work with it or get rid of it. Sometimes, we have to let thigs go. This is not for everyone, I know. There are chemical imbalances and hormoane thngs going on but sometimes we can help with trying everything to make "ME" happy. I love running creeks, brooks, falls--mountains--candles--quiet serene--nature--it's the peace sometimes that we are looking for. Mine may be in the brain, LOL, but it was also in my personal life. We have to thnk of ourself sometimes and not try so hard to make everyone else happy and forget about "ME." I have to have my metime to think, relx and meditate on lovely peaceful quiet things, It make me happy. Happiness is most of it most of the time. Smiles to you my friend.

Aweeeee, thank you Iraku. However, when someone has it in their mind that they are right and they will not be honest with theirself or anyone else, you can't help them. We went to my husband's pastor once (I did not attend there because the people were stuffy and arrogant) for councelling and I sat there and cried and pourd my heart out, litterally emptied it, and when it was my husbands turn he said, Well, I admit I have a shot fuse!! His pastor said, Ok, OK, that's enough of that. We all have that. he would not allow my husband to say anymore. Why? Because he knew my husbands temper and he did not want him mad at him because he would lose a member and tithe money. LOL. So much for that! I humiliated myself theroughly. I never went back. Oh, I still smile. Jesus did not say I would not go through these things, HE said, I will never leave you nor forsake you. HE walks though them with me so I hve peace in the midst of trouble. Keep smiling my friend.

Hi, what an awesome post. You have a lot of courage. I will check out the meditation sites in UTube. I hadn't seen them. Your right, happiness is the main ingrediant; the Key to happiness. It's hard to be happy when you are in a lot of pain and Iknow some are; I pray you are not one of them.I cannot imagine consant pain in th back as you have. Yet, you sound so positive. Yes, God and sincere friends who really care are essential. God bless you also my friend and Smiles & Hugs to ya!!

Oh well then it's hopeless if one's mind and body stuck with a wrong follower like that! This makes me wonder where is kindness or love as it said in the bible....God will taking care of you that I'm sure of. 🙂

Meditation helps a lot with still my mind and focus on non judgmental view of everything and that helps to get through some difficulties. I feel that my mind just wide awake at night because it's the time that I am alone the most. I think my body is a totally hermit! During the day it's just the best time for me to buried myself in bed so I don't see anybody. Taking a really good care of yourself Gerri, nature is peace and true beauty...the sanctuary that God gave us to rest while we are alive. 🙂
