Insomnia and depression

Posted by Iraku @iraku, Jun 21, 2012

I have noticed after the anti-depressant kicks in my insomnia has been slowly increasing. I feel wide awake for some period and then becoming so tired and thought that I could sleep but then when the light is off and I just slowly back to becoming wide awake again. I usually unable to sleep around mid night, the usual hour that I can fall asleep will moving away from 3 am to later and later. No matter how I tried to tired myself out and go to bed at normal hour, it won't happen. Please help!

I woke up in the middle of the night last night and even though the melatonin was trying to work but I still can not go back to sleep. I know the main reason...though. I was upset with something and all the childhood grieve just kept on coming. I cried and cried till I went asleep again and now I'm having a massive headache.

I don't like myself being to fragile with my environment. I can not help it but trying my best to cope with all the difficulties and trying my best to be able to stay function and able to do things the next day....it's just so hard.

I am so happy to be here.....I have major issues getting enough sleep, and I do not want to take all these chemical or junk that they sell in the drug stores that just hurt my organs. I was spekaing to my sister 2 Saturdays ago and I found out that she has the same problems sleeping (at least she did)....she gave me a bottle of 5 stage sleep shot, all natural and OMG I finally slept all night. Just a thought check the web site I think they have free sample or something, http://www.5stagesleepshot.com

Yeah the brain has been overloaded with too much going on when you have yourself in a new environment. It crashed just like computer 😛 ...When that happened I'm trying to remember to breath deep and stay still....it works when I'm not too overwhelming with emotions. Hope you get better rest soon. 🙂
