i'm tired. i'm so damn tired. physically, emotionally. i love it. i love what i'm doing, i know i'm okay and i'm going to be okay. this nursing school shit is kicking my ass.
i get home and its the same violent, stupid shit. so what, i get bruised up, i'll escape to work or school tomorrow. in the meantime i'll climb into bed and plug into my ipod, let the music take me away.
i'm getting an average of four hours of sleep a night.
i'm trying to eat but its hard. once i get my coffee in me, i loose my appetite.
i get into bed and i want to sleep. i'm so fucking tired and i want to sleep. but instead i lie there awake. my mind racing...
ALL I WANT IS TO FUCKING SLEEP!!! lol, is that so much to ask for? just a good night of sleep. i'm single. i don't have kids. i should be able to sleep. so why the hell can't i??
THIS IS BULLSHIT!

" med adjustment maybe in order.
your pdoc may prescribe you a sleep aid or recommend an OTC sleep aid.

I use to take 1/2 tablet of oTC sleep aid.

I opt not to have children because I have a thyroid disorder. I can't believe that people intentually would pass this illness on to a baby who may half to deal w dression & physical effects of depression - while watching me deal with it - which would effect the child life.

congrad on being able to attend school.

Maybe you could take at least 1/2 morning - day to obtain R&R w/o getting out of bed.

oh ya, your pdoc might adjust your meds are intro a new med or change 1 of your meds that will decress the raceing thoughts.

Against medical advise I take my morning med after dinner. so I won't be droggy during the day. "

" I hardly ever get a good nights sleep been up since 1 AM racing thoughts all day and night but I'm bp which includes depression. Sleeping pills don't work for me but may for you. Xanax is the only thing that puts me to sleep. Working out when I actually have the energy is a bonus but is hard to do when depressed. Try reading a positive book or watching something hysterical on TV we can change our outlook on life even with depression to a certain degree hope it helps. "

" voodoo: absolutely in love w/ jack, and anyone signed onto brushfire. everyone he does work with is AMAZING!!
ook: thats just my family. its funny, you get so sick and tired of it, but you still love them to death. things could be much worse!
admiral: no scripts for me. take melatonin here and there to sleep, if i'm really lacking sleep, it gets the job done. otherwise, i try to stay away from all that. i know sometimes its needed, but don't want to depend on it, and don't wanna pay the money it'll cost to see an md on it.
calm: i do like xanax. but thats my prob. i like it a little too much. thats why i won't try to get perscribed it. i know i'll abuse it. i figure the anxiety is better than what will happen if i get a script. "
