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 think the body training is going well so far. I am still feel tired even though I have done not much during the day. I did some light exercise for 20 mins in the last two days. It helps with feeling a bit more flexible on my body but it definitely increasing my fatigue by the end of each day and when that happens my body seems to not able to rest. The medication is working well. I got 6 hours sleep and woken up by noise this morning and could not get back to sleep. I know that the sleeping is under the medication control and yet to be running by my physical respond to the sleeping time. I'm happy with the progress at this stage. Got to go and see the doctor now it's the blood test results from two days ago. I told there's nothing urgent but the doctor still wants to discuss about it.

Nothing new....lose weight before talking about other problems. Typical solutions for everything to most doctor this day. I have tried to lose weight since I was a little bit overweight and now it's beyond manageable...what hope do I have now. So I'm on my own if the weight is the doctor concern rather than the problem that I am facing since I was skinny!

This also triggered something deep in the abusive history too, my mother told me to lose weight since I was 16 and my weight was 48 kg. Today I weight 82 kg still have to lose weight... fml. I hate that word.

Just eat healthy. I have found that I had to loose weight and am eating more fruit and veggies and it's helping. As long as you feel happy within yourself is the main thing. Take care Hugs

I had a long day Saturday, was tired and find it hard to go to sleep. Then woke up this morning from 6 hrs sleep with lots of ache and pain. Now I have a massive headache that can hardly feel the panadols is working, accompany by a small breakdown. I cried and whined a little bit just to make myself feel better. It's slowly getting better now. I'm going to have to take it really easy.
